    No, but I would sit on a public bench after walking around Dallas to rest my feet.

    But still smarter than a Texan.

    Answer this one question....

    What's the purpose of a bench?

    True. They are usually cooler at night.

    LOL I live in Birmingham, AL.... if any place this were true, it would be here. I have never once seen someone sitting on a bench during daylight but they make great beds after hours.

    As for the lady in Texas, I think she burned herself on purpose. The bench would have made you jump up immediately and it wouldn't have given you third degree burns through clothes that quickly. I think she sat there long enough to burn anticipating a lawsuit.

    That said, it should be a slam-dunk case as it is moronic to have a black marble bench outside in Texas for public use. I think she saw an opportunity and jumped on it, err sat on it in this case. Doesn't make the benches existence any more excusable though.

    What if a child walked over there and sat on the bench and burned his rear with 3rd degree burns? We wouldn't be calling a 5 year old stupid if had terrible burns on his butt and hands from some stupid design.

    No, but just for arguments sake, where is this 5 year old from? In many places, a 5 year old is probably a good comparison (intelligence wise) to adult texans.

    I'm calling complete BS on this, there is no way that a bench could cause 3rd degree burns. Look up pictures of 3rd degree burns, not to mention your touch reflex that would cause you to immediately get up. Just another scammer.

    I know a guy who got 3rd degree burns on his leg from a fire and theres noway a bench could do that. A five year old would even notice the bench is hot and jump off.

    There are some Cowboy haters in here. Being a Texan and all, I am a Huge Cowboys fan.
