I love this article. LOL Length, source, citation, and date all check out. Good to go. — Hunter Kahn 16:19, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Suggested embellishment per article: ALT1... that South Dakota once sued 15 cats (pictured) and when the cats lost in the lower court, the South Dakota Supreme Court agreed to hear (meow) their appeal? Hoppyh (talk) 20:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

No thanks, I think that just drags it out and ruins the joke. Besides, this is continuing the April Fools tradition of "US/State sued object" hooks. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 21:18, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Please accept my retraction. Hoppyh (talk) 22:40, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

Is it maybe a bit tasteless to use someone's personal tragedy (homeless person who is named in the article) as an April Fools "joke"? -kyykaarme (talk) 09:30, 28 January 2020 (UTC)

Good point on the BLP issue. As she was not the defendant, I changed her description to "the driver". Yoninah (talk) 19:49, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
