These Little Piggies Had Slippery Pork Shoes
- Share via
A man who broke his arm when he slipped on a greasy bar floor--caused by a patron who wore pork chops as shoes--has brought home the bacon, winning more than 60,000 Australian dollars (about $33,600 U.S.) in compensation.
Troy Michael Bowron, 25, sued the Jannali Inn in southern Sydney, its owner Kelly Wells and patron Ross Lucock for negligence over the November 1997 incident.
Bowron claimed Lucock said he was using the pork for shoes after being told he would not be served more alcohol because he was barefoot. Lucock had won the meat as part of a raffle at the bar.
The bar and owner were ordered to pay for not cleaning up the greasy trail, but charges against Lucock were dismissed.
