Iron Balls McGinty... one dollar and NINE CENTS
Damm that was classic.
OK, that went right over my head, [but when you're 5'2", what doesn't?] but I bet it's like the novel QBXII, where the plaintiff who sued for slander wins, and the jury awards him what his reputation is worth: 1 cent.
Whatever, it's nice to see something bring you guys out of the woodwork, lol.

It's from The Jerk. One of the best movies, IMO, before they censored it.
And yes, that was one thing that could bring me out of the woodwork. I thought I was done with this place.

The protagonist in The Jerk loses a class action lawsuit. Each plaintiff gets a paltry $1.09. The lawyers got rich, of course. Iron Balls McGinty was somehow also awarded money, because the protagonist kicked him in the groin, injuring his foot in the process, because, well, he wasn't called Iron Balls McGinty for nothing. After losing the lawsuit, the protagonist was shown writing numerous checks, all for $1.09.
Once infected ya can't get rid of it!

Farming, cooking, and toting kids to and from school. Actually getting better with two out of three. The third one is driving me nuts. LOL
hey its ca$h and it didn't cost you a cent...someone else took them on and you get a few bucks you never had before....
It's the legal equivalent of walking the lot for change.

not even...these guys signed a document and then sat back and left the walking to someone else...
The people that were leased to Panther during the time covered by this lawsuit were cheated out of money they earned. If Mr. Eubanks and his attorneys didn't have enough evidence of wrong doing, Panther would have told them to go hump a wheel chock.
Exactly!!!!!!
That is probably true although I mindful that the minute you have a lawsuit it can be beneficial to do a payoff to make it go away. Why would I say that? If a carrier decided to fight this type of claim, it opens up more doors in which to litigate on. That can be pricey to say the least. There is a reason in that decision that one can not sue later for issues covering the dates that the lawsuit entailed. Or, not wanting to complicate the simple, they didn't want anyone prying into how they did anything else.
With that said, we did quite well with our recovery. Got plenty to buy that dollar store lamp.

Looks like you're set, Dave; once you pick up the chair and magazine.
