In the cereal story, maybe someone beamed the used tampon into the unopened box? After all, the plaintiff’s name is Roddenberry.

She said she had been a victim of a hit-and-run accident and suffered a brain injury that mimicked the signs of alcohol impairment.

Ah, the classic brain injury gambit.

The deputy noted that her eyes were watery and bloodshot, she slurred when she spoke and that he could smell the “overwhelmingly strong odor of intoxicants on her breath.”

By the way Anne “Einstein” Bremner, please explain how this brain injury causes your blood alcohol level to rise.

In a July 29 declaration made to the court under penalty of perjury, Dr. Philip G. Lindsay stated that “(Bremner) had been the victim of a hit and run driver at 50 mph and had suffered a concussion,” Lindsay said. “She called 9-1-1 twice. However, they did not respond.”

Now that is what I call a great doctor. Not only can he determine the speed of the other car but how many times she called 911. He could put House to shame
