Gotcha, Gaius, proximity it is – like a fuse on an air to air missile.

I am guessing he doesn’t really want her/his kidney back. He is likely using this as a ploy to reduce the amount of money he has to pay in the settlement.

I’m well aware of where they are. It was a proximity thing.

“has transplant experts wondering what he is thinking.”

He’s thinking he is emotionally devastated that the woman to whom he gave his kidney would go out and cheat on him and he just wants to hit back at her by going after the one thing that symbolized his devotion to her more than anything else – his donated kidney. Of course the court will tell him no. He likely assumed that when he made the demand. But making the demand allows him to publicly humiliate her and make her look like the most ungrateful wretch who ever lived – on national television. And what can she possibly say in her own defense? It’s the perfect revenge.

By the way, Gaius, nice try with the Isles of Langerhans but that’s the pancreas – wrong organ.

This totally wipes out the good deed he did by donating the kidney in the first place. When he gave it to her, it became hers – literally. He no longer has a claim on the organ.

BTW, why are there so many Sams commenting here? What’s up?

When an opportunity walks right up to you with a “hit me out of the park” sign on it, I say “Go For It!”
