Not the Hardiest of Citizens: Windsor, Ontario, hair stylist Waddah (Martin)
Mustapha was awarded the equivalent of about US$270,000 by a court in April
after he testified that he became racked with depression upon seeing a fly
inside a commercial bottle of water at his salon. Presumably, damages would
have been more if Mustapha had actually drunk from the bottle (or even opened
it). As it was, he and his wife vomited, and he required extensive
psychotherapy for nightmares, loss of sense of humor, increased
argumentativeness, lack of desire to shower regularly, and constipation.
