    Hey KLS…I used to weigh more than 450 pounds…BELIEVE ME THEY’D SAY IT RIGHT TO YOUR FACE.

    Somehow, when you’re fat it’s EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS (from well-meaning loved one’s to total and complete strangers to anonymous posters). Before I lost the weight and stopped being everyone’s business I used to always say well you’re stupid but you don’t see me suggesting you go back to kindergarten do you?

    I don’t know WHY that is, only that it IS.

    Gee Johnny, do you always speak like a total ***? I don’t know what happened to cause this woman’s accident and I certainly don’t think it’s worth that amount of money. I am speaking towards people like you who feel that it’s ok to treat overweight people like they are less than human. If they are overweight its because they are weak and stupid, right? You are a total idiot.

    I haven’t seen anything about what injuries were sustained here. What can you do to yourself falling off a toilet that would be worth that amount of money? Anybody out there know?

    If I were Donald Trump, I would fire the person that agreed to this settlement. This lady should be required to forgo her SS checks since she just won the lawsuit lottery.

    She should’ve sued the toilet paper company too.
    I bet the paper was too thin for heavy duty use, her fingers went through & she accidentally “goosed” herself. This caused her to jump up, and when she landed, the toilet broke off causing this “injury”.
    Does anyone know how much she weighs?
    1.2 million? This is ridiculous.

    I don’t understand the whole settlement bu I really don’t understand the “social club” comment………..”Ciocci had claimed that injuries from the fall at the Taj Mahal prevented her from avoiding more serious injuries during a second fall at a Reading, Pa., social club in 2006. She claims the second fall left her permanently disabled.”

    Does this mean she was more careful when getting on the toilet?

    Maybe this is the first time someone failed to get a straight flush and won big not in spite of it but because of it.

    See, you can win big at the casinos.

    Reminds me of the Utah Phillips routine where he says one of his ancestors, who was an electrician in Oklahoma, turned out to be a pioneer in the travel business. It was rural electrification time back then in the 30s, for Federal buildings and restrooms/outhouses, even those in the tribal territories. After a long build-up, Utah finally says: “Yup, he was the first person ever to wire a head for a reservation.”

    Sounds like she tried to sue the social club … which was ruled that her injuries were sustained from an earlier fall (Taj), didn’t collect a dime, then the ambulance chaser went after Trump, who is obviously a Rosie O’Donnell Fan

    I think this answers a lot of questions.

    Although the Taj Mahal admitted liability in Ciocci’s first fall, it denied responsibility for the second one. The casino blamed her injuries in the second fall on her extreme weight. Court papers indicated Ciocci is only 5-foot-1, but weighs 320 pounds and has been using a wheelchair for several years.
