Hear no Evil

* the law @ 11:53

A man was awarded $117,000 for backpay and pain and suffering because his employer decided that a deaf mute didn't deserve a pay raise over the span of twenty years. Other new employees with less experience deserved more than $5.51, but apparently not this man because he couldn't speak or hear. Yes, operating a ring-making machine requires these two faculties. And here I thought one just needed hands.
