6TH PLACE :
Carl Truman, 19 of Los Angeles, California, won $74,000 plus medical expenses when his neighbor ran over his hand with a Honda Accord. Truman apparently didn't notice there was someone at the wheel of the car when he was trying to steal his neighbor's hubcaps.
Dear God, please don't tell me there is a market for Honda Accord wheel covers
1ST PLACE : This year's runaway First Place Stella Award winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma , who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, from an OU football game, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver's seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. Not surprisingly, the motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Also not surprisingly, Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not putting in the owner's manual that she couldn't actually leave the driver's seat while the cruise control was set . The Oklahoma jury awarded her $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home. Winnebago actually changed their 20manuals as a result of this suit, just in case Mrs. Grazinski has any relatives who might also buy a motor home..
Although I would beleive this of most OU graduates.....
