Kucinich sues House cafeteria over dental damage from olive pit
Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich is demanding $150,000 for "permanent injuries" he suffered from biting an olive pit in a sandwich wrap he bought at a House of Representatives cafeteria.

He is suing Restaurant Associates, which operates the cafeteria in the Longworth Office Building, its parent company, Compass Group USA, and food suppliers Performance Food Group Co. and Foodbuy LLC.

The congressman says the cafeteria asserted that the sandwich had pitted olives, but after biting the pit he "sustained serious and permanent dental and oral injuries requiring multiple surgical and dental procedures, and has sustained other damages as well, including significant pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment."

Kucinich says he was injured by the sandwich on April 17, 2008.
Imagine the media frenzy that would be unleashed if Sarah Palin did this. SNL would probably devote their whole next episode year to chipped-tooth Sarah-the-ambulance-chaser skits. Chris "Tingles" Matthews' head would explode on the air.
