...AND THE WINNER IS :
1. Mr Merv Grazinski of Oklahoma City. In November 2000 Mr. Grazinski
purchased a brand new 32 foot Winnebago motor home. On his first trip home,
having joined the freeway, he set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly
left the drivers seat to go into the back and make himself a cup of coffee.
Not surprisingly the Winnie left the freeway, crashed and overturned. Mr
Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising him in the handbook that he
couldn't actually do this. He was awarded $1,750,000 plus a new Winnie.
(Winnebago actually changed their handbooks on the back of this court case,
just in case there are any other complete morons buying their vehicles.)

A quick Yahoo search finds 13 instances of this paragraph on the web, but no
other mention of Mr. Grzinski. I think it's safe to say that these are
urban legends.
