Paper, Rock, Scissors anyone?
A federal judge, miffed at the inability of opposing attorneys to agree on even the slightest details of a lawsuit, ordered them to settle their latest dispute with a game of "rock, paper, scissors."...In an order signed Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Gregory Presnell scolded both sides and ordered them to meet at a neutral location at 4 p.m. June 30...If they can't agree on the neutral location, he said, they'll play on the steps of the federal courthouse.
