Canadians Don't Sue! (Unless it's Over Tim Hortons.)

Iconic as the maple leaf, and just a little sweeter, Canada's national doughnut chain "Tim Hortons"
(which offers us the most Canadian food we have, the Maple Dip) is at the centre of a little.. squabble. The annual "Roll up the Rim to Win" contest has garnered some younger winners, two garbage picking 10 and 12 year old girls who've won a RAV4. The 10 year old girl found the cup (with no rolled rim) in a garbage can, unable to roll it up, she asked her 12 year old friend for help. The two discovered they had won the car, and went to the school for to have their parents called. The 10 year old girl's father said he was intending to sell the car, and would give a portion of the money to the 12 year old girls family. Now the 12 year old's family is getting litigious, and looking to sue, and the teacher is damanding the cup was his. I say it goes to the 12 year old. If you're too dumb to roll up the rim (the teacher) and too weak to roll it up (the 10 year old) then I say the 12 year old gets it. Kudos to her, obviously the stronger one, for not knocking the wimpy one out and runnin' off with the cup. Note to self - watch the garbage picking youth while in possesion of possibly winning cup.

Hmm, the 12 year old should have off-ed the little wimp, left her in the dumpster and rode off into the sunset in her new RAV4. Would have been natural selection at its best.
