An Australian court has ruled that a bureaucrat who was injured while having sex on a business trip is eligible for worker's compensation benefits.
The Full Bench of the Federal Court ruled in favor of the woman, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, and rejected the appeal of the federal government's insurer.
The woman was hospitalized after being injured during sex with a male friend while in a motel approximately one hundred miles from her home.
During the sex, ( THE SEX.....love it) a glass light fitting was torn from its mount above the bed and landed on her face, injuring her nose and mouth. She later suffered depression and was unable to continue working for the government......sounds like pretty good sex if things were torn off the wall, wonder what she was depressed about?
Her claim for worker's compensation for her physical and psychological injuries was initially approved by the government insurer then rejected after further investigation.
An administrative tribunal agreed with the insurance carrier that her injuries were not suffered in the course of her employment, saying the government had not induced or encouraged the woman's sexual conduct. The tribunal also found the sex was "not an ordinary incident of an overnight stay" such as showering, sleeping and eating......a man, a woman, a motel....come on tribunal, you were young once.
That ruling was overturned when the Federal Court rejected the tribunal's findings that the sex had to be condoned by the government if she were to qualify for compensation.
"If the applicant had been injured while playing a game of cards in her motel room, she would be entitled to compensation even though it could not be said that her employer induced her to engage in such activity," the judge wrote in his judgment in favor of the woman receiving compensation......you need to be very careful when playing cards, paper cuts can be nasty and domino tiles can be deadly.
It is not yet clear how much compensation the woman will receive. She was in her thirties at the time of the accident.
.....At first the claim was rejected because THE SEX wasn't induced or encouraged. I thought government work and sex went together.
This couple took togetherness to a new level.
Rhode Island State Police say a husband and wife both face charges of driving under the influence after they were stopped separately on the same night.
The wife (43) was stopped and a chemical test on her indicated she'd been driving under the influence.
The husband (44) was pulled over for a motor vehicle violation while driving to get his wife, then taken into custody. A chemical test on him indicated he was also driving under the influence.
A number for the couple could not be located and they could not be reached for comment.....What can you say about something like this? We greatly appreciate the award for being the dumbest couple ever. HEY, EVER HEAR OF A TAXI?

Has The Learning Channel reached rock bottom? The premier episode, originally scheduled on December 26th, has been moved to Jan 6th. Because of the terrible events last Friday the once highly informative, educational, and entertaining T.L.C. rescheduled, "The Best Funeral Ever."
The show is centered around a funeral home in Dallas which specializes in offering unique, often elaborate funerals catering to the deceased's personality, favorite things, or special interests.
A spokesperson for T.L.C. says, "This will give our viewers the opportunity to follow dead people's journey to the grave. Or, as the director of the funeral home refers to it, their "home going-celebration."
I'm pretty sure I'd rather watch people sing.
Really, funerals?.....
