Interesting plan. The autopsy would have shown his preexisting condition, and the heart attack he couldn't have ignored, combined with the coincidental announcement of the settlement, raising the specter of fraud, the search of his home would have discovered the note on the printer, and it all would have been for nothing.
Still, since he was soon to die, it was worth a try. Disney might have paid out just to keep the story from going viral.
It works every time. I've been called, but never served.
I was once asked if I knew the defendent. I replied, "No, but I know what kind of person he is."
Neither side seemed to know how to take that, as I said it in a neutral tone. Both attorneys turned to the judge and shook their heads. I got to go home.
It beat another time when a friend of mine who was the presiding judge never seated a jury all week. It was in July and the 4th was on Wednesday, so only 4 days, but 4 days in a jury room seems like 4 months.
Afterward, I asked him why he never needed a jury.
“I told all the defendants and their clients that I had a jury pool full of pissed off people who didn’t want to be there over July 4th and they all had that hang ‘em high look in their eyes. Every single one pled out.”
Now, I don’t know if Arnie was pulling my leg, but it would be just like him to do such a thing.
I know HOW he managed to force a final infarction: he was bored to death, having ridden the ride (Disney ride) 420, 000 times. Ride #419, 999 his death was predictable. As for Disco ----I mourned it's passing. I applaud a father's devotion. :)
Please don't feel the need to apologize for work that elicits an emotional response. Just because It's not something I would like to read again, it is still good writing.

Congratulations, the plaintiff has just used his first challenge to remove you from the jury pool lol 😊

The walk from the parking lot would have been the real killer!
Ha yes, though keeling over on the tram might have been a good lawsuit too!
Disco couldn’t die fast enough for me.
Declaration of death turning out to be perhaps a controversial comment, who knew?😊
highly resonating, somehow. Thank you, Scott
Thank you very much, Chen and as always thanks for reading
Really liked your story Scott, what a good plan, I might want to use this plan too 😜
Thx. You are way too young !!!
As if Disney didn't have ENOUGH problems!
😊🐭🏰

Woah, what a plan! Loved it (other than the dead as disco comment, which is totally false 🪩🕺).
Thx ha, yes maybe that was a low blow, at least in your precinct it’s Stayin’ Alive
"He was no doctor. But he watched The Pitt." LOL. Kind of sad but definitely understandable. I hope Lowell got a decent payday here.
Great story - Almost death by Disney huh- No wonder Mickey mouse always wears gloves! 😁😜
Thank you, Ruth! Ha, the concession prices aren’t the only killers.
Great fun to read, Scott, as always. But, as disco king of our 55+ community, I have to complain about the dead as disco metaphor. 😁😁😁
Thx ha yes I apologize for the cheap shot🕺
Suicide by carnival ride: that's a new one Scott. Loved the ending: they found Lowell. Thank God for ambulance chasers.
Ha thx Yes old Lowell will need to make due with 70 percent😊
Ha! What a plan! Also, Dead as Disco could be the name of a band, just saying.
Love it!
The Deadliest Place on Earth ...
Tragic Kingdom😎
Dark and sad. :(
Yes sorry, saw where a lady died on the Universal Mummy ride and lawyered up the day after I was there and it stuck with me.

Thank you!
For heaven's sake! What a clever plan. I am SURE it would work for me. If I weren't such a coward. Great writing, Scott.
Thank you , don’t get any ideas!!😎It’s a Small World is about my speed limit.
