"Judge, there's a fly in my water!"

A Windsor, Ontario court had awarded $341K to Waddah Mustapha because there was a fly in his bottled water. Not that he drank the water, mind you, but the mere sight of the fly had turned him into a nutcase. The appeals court threw it out, AND ordered him to pay court costs, because he was ALREADY a nutcase; that's why he was drinking the water.

I don't think you'd see that in the US.
