Examples: [Collected via e-mail, 2001] There's a current law suit in the works by a Minnesota man named HenryHarleny.Mr. Harleny is suing a famous drill company for physical damages causedto him by their tools. Mr. Harleny claims that he wanted to eliminate anitch in his nose, so he placed a power drill up his nose and turned thedrill on with the drill bit still attached.He successfully got rid of the itch, but in the process he drilled offhis nose. Here's a picture of Mr. Harleny taken at the hospital.Here is a statement by Mr. Harleny:No where on the package, or on the actual tool was there a warning thatspecifically tells the consumer not to place the drill up their nose, orany orifice for that matter. These companies need to take responsibilityfor their products. Mr. Harleny is suing for $25 million. Origins: Once again we have a case of someone's adding a humorous but fictitious explanation to a photograph of completely different origin. This is not a picture of someone who placed a power drill up his nose to scratch and itch and drilled off his nose, nor is any person namedHenry Harleny suing a famous drill company because the tool he purchased lacked a label warning consumers not to place the drill up their nose. The picture was taken from an episode of The Learning Channel's television program Trauma: Life in the ER and shows a patient who was hit by a bullet at such an angle that it creased his face and took off part of his nose.
