This sounds like a paragraph from the early part of Heinlein’s The Day of the Jackpot; where goofy real newspaper reports turn out to be stranger than anything you could make up:

An American student whose heart stopped after he deliberately electrocuted himself in a science class is suing his teacher for not warning him it was dangerous.

Kyle Dubois, 18, is also taking legal action against the school district and the city of Dover in New Hampshire.

Yay! Everyone is going to be rich!

They are seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost income due to time away from work and other damages related to the incident, which occurred on March 11.

Dubois attached an electrical clamp to one nipple while another student attached another clamp to the other. A third student plugged in the cord.

Dubois was critically injured and his legal team claim he has suffered permanent brain damage.

Brain damage? Sounds like he had a part time job licking windows even before this burst of stupidity.

The suit claims that a teacher dared him to put the clamps on his nipples, but even the moron himself denies this: proving that even he realises that the lawyers are out of control. Surprised that they aren’t suing the descendants of Benjamin Franklin too….
