You couldn't make it up - John Davis
Litigation, especially when allied to persons of such obviously limited intellect, seems to pay off in the USA. This "gem" was considered the best in a list of frivolous lawsuits and I am told that it is absolutely true.

"In November 2000 Mr Grazinski purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home, having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee. Not surprisingly the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he couldn't actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie (Winniebago actually changed their handbooks on the back of this court case, just in case there are any other complete morons buying their vehicles.)"

See "The Stella Awards" thread a month ago which also featured this tale.
