What ‘attractive nuisance’?????
Greg you may owe me for a monitor and keyboard I sprayed for laughing so hard.
‘c’mon down here and take your mauling like a man… wusses… oh come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notice that Chase managed to be three feet ahead of Lowell and win the ‘escape the dog’ race?
The attractive nuisance has yet to be revealed. Mostly, I just think it’s funny how ‘attractive nuisance’ laws work- “You have a thing on your property that people just can’t keep themselves from trespassing in order to injure themselves with. Now pay!” “Attractive Nuisance” probably has a legitimate reason somewhere under some circumstance, but every time I’ve heard anything about it, it’s been nuts.
I think the first successful case for “attractive nuisance” was for someone that had a swimming pool in the backyard that was only covered up with an old canvas sheet. Some young neighborhood kids tore the sheet off, got into the pool, and drowned, or injured themselves or something.
Yep. We had a 100 year old oak go down across some back yards here a couple of years ago. Lots of fences torn down, and one neighbor, who has a pool, got very… enthusiastic… when talking to another neighbor about keeping kids OUT of his pool. AWAY. NO WHERE NEAR! The neighbor getting the lecture kept pointing out that he doesn’t have any kids. All we could figure was that 1) the guy with the pool had heard the attractive nuisance story, and 2) he didn’t want to yell at us (who have kids) for some reason, and 3) he wanted the nice neighbor (whose yard any trespassers would have to enter through) to be responsible in some way, since he was WARNED. Or he’s just a penile appendage. He also has squirrels and raccoons in his garage apartment, so poop on him.
Big metro I lived in went sideways on ponds in your yard. They had a toddler go in a 18″ deep reflecting pool half full, trip, get lodged and drown so they were really uptight about it… we in the name of ‘getting code enforcement off ours’ put in buried wire below solid fence to 6′ high, and latches at 54″ off the ground plus built in unobtrusive exit ladders/steps with hand holds in our ponds. We conformed to ‘swimming pool rules’ fencing even though they weren’t swimming pools. And the deepest one was measured, yes the code person got IN the water and measured with a rigid pole, at one inch less water depth than what would have REQUIRED the swimming pool rules.
Litigation Nation doesn’t begin to cover it.
If they crawled up there, Hubris can get Chase for trespassing, and probably ripping his electrical service off between mast and meter there… or causing Lowell to do it.
Chase may have a case in reparations for Lowell’s damaged trousers, but unless his own suit was damaged by Kujo here, he’s probably not going to get worked up into a lather pursuing it.
Unless Chase was the trouser biter. Never know with Greg…
YOU gotta come clean the drink I just sprayed all over my monitor and keyboard. You did it to me, you clean it up!
amazing Lowel was even able to get up there with his lawer given the state of his pants. though sooner or later they will have to come down and the crazy dog lady then will have them both.
I’m waiting for Lowell to fall & land on the dog, and the attorney to sue the owner. Or maybe for Lowell to land on the owner. Too many possibilities, hard to tell. That’s what I like about this strip, impossible to predict.
Or Chase leans over expecting an answer from Lowell, Lowell grabs and ends up hauing Chase over the edge and HE either lands on the dog, the crazybomb lady, or both, then Lowell loses his grip and lands on Chase.
Oh yeah….
