Shortest opinion ever


J.H. GILLIS, Judge.

The appellant has attempted to distinguish the factual situation in this case from that in Renfroe v. Higgins Rack Coating and Manufacturing Co., Inc. (1969), 17 Mich.App. 259, 169 N.W.2d 326. He didn't. We couldn't.

Affirmed.

Denny v. Radar Industries, Inc., 184 N.W.2d 289, 290 (Mich. App. 1971)

It's the Ogden Nash of opinions. Excellent.

A very grateful hat-tip to Lowering the Bar.
