Dennis Kucinich Sues Congressional Cafeteria Over Olive Pit

Congressman Dennis Kucinich bought a sandwich from the Longworth House Office Building cafeteria in April 2008, and bit into it only to find an unpitted olive that cracked a tooth. This month, he sued the cafeteria for selling “dangerous” sandwiches.

The complaint is pretty bare-boned: It claims that in April 2008, Kucinich purchased a “sandwich wrap” from the Longworth Cafeteria with an errant olive pit lurking within, and tragedy ensued.
