just sue it

this is a little old but still funny.

A handyman working at a British hotel sawed off a tree branch while standing on a ladder – with the ladder leading against the branch being cut.

Peter Aspinall, 63, fell 14 feet after falling from his ladder. A British court fined the hotel $3,100 for failing to perform a risk assessment on the dangers of sawing the branch, according to Maclean’s.

Aspinall has now launched a civil suit against the hotel. – Natalie Fraser (Lawyer’s Weekly: June 25, 2010)
