[In the US]
1) You've got to show that the prick was harmful enough to you that
it merits legal remedy.
2) You've got to show that you had a reasonable expectation that
roses didn't have thorns.
3) You've got to show that whoever gave you the rose should have
forseen that would be harmed.
4) For extra bonus points, you try to show that whoever gave you the
rose knew you would be harmed or indended to harm you.
[In some areas of civil law, you can cash in your bonus points from
step four for treble damages!]
Are there that many people in the country who have no clue how the
legal system works?
