Overlawyered has a neat real life quiz. We will provide the question, they have the answer.
So here's a quiz to see whether you have what it takes to be a trial lawyer: Man walks into a bar, has some drinks, rides over to a diner with his friend. At the diner, the man orders a sandwich, chokes on it, and dies. So the question is, who do you sue?
(A) You don't. It's nobody's fault; it was just a tragic accident. If anybody is to blame, it's the man who got drunk and then carelessly choked.
(B) The diner, for serving the sandwich.
(C) The friend, for driving the man to the diner.
(D) The bar, for serving him alcohol; if he hadn't been drunk, he might not have choked.
