A wit scrawled the title of this post in a library carrel. It plays on two Greek names — Euripides and Euminides — and makes sense only if you say it out loud. You-rip-a-dese pants, you-men[d]-a-dese pants.
Blawgletter wishes that Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson had the wit to heed the common sense of the collegian’s graffiti. Judge Pearson claimed that a cleaner lost his pants. Fine. Ask for, and accept, a replacement pair or the money to get one. But don’t demand $54 million.
He did anyway. And now he’s appealed from an order dismissing his case.
Euripides wrote that those whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Meaning crazy. Because only a nut would do what Judge Pearson has done. Law gods, go get him.
