Admittedly this case would be less interesting if it did not involve the CEO of one of the largest companies in Maine, but I just couldn't resist:

I thot it was going to be about a fence across an easement, which, when you crossed it, the wire broke, and you tore up your nice new LL bean pants, and now, it was becoming serious...

I love LL Bean. It is just about all I wear. Today it is corduroys and long sleeve henley.

About the only thing I've seen that beats LL Bean is Patagonia Capilene 1 long underwear.

Interesting how much of the follow-up commentary sees the court's decision as a reprimand to the plaintiff for his looks, or to L.L.Bean for its business practices.
