Old Fart wins lawsuit for being called "Old Fart"

[-Cp]

DALLAS Attorneys say a 63-year-old West Texas woman won an age-discrimination suit against a company run by a 72-year-old woman after being called a series of insulting names.

Attorney Mary Goodrich said Garlan Cunningham of Ranger alleged that the campaign of ridicule was orchestrated by septuagenarian Doris Richeson of Graham.

Richeson operates 49 Dairy Queens in Texas.

On Friday, a Dallas jury awarded Cunningham nearly a million (M) dollars for lost wages, mental anguish and punitive damages.

The company's attorney, John Ross of Dallas, said the company denies Cunningham's allegations and intends to appeal.

Cunningham's attorneys said she was demoted from supervising 24 Dairy Queens to district manager in charge of 11, then fired in March 2003 when efforts to force her resignation failed.

Hmmmm.... If I didn't know any better, I'd think mm was dropping a little inside joke for the extremely politically incorrect among us.

What a nation of babies we've become. A lawsuit over name-calling. And in any event: if you're 72 years old, haven't you earned the right to call anyone anything you damn well please? If I make it that long, I'll consider it my right.

OK WJ, that's at least 3 posts of yours that I've really liked. I can't rep you any more, but you are causing me a great deal of dissonance. Please revert to expected behavior! Just kidding.
