...born with the gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad

Mastoora's mistake: A disgruntled former employee of Maple Leaf Meats, who was caught inserting needles and pins into packages of meat, was planning to launch a civil suit again the company. Silly woman! If she wanted to make a few bucks at the company's expense and punish it for doing her wrong (as she saw it), all she had to do was complain to the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. Maple Leaf would have been on the hook for its legal expenses while her gripe was being investigated--which could have dragged on for years, the tab for her legal fees would have been covered by the taxpayer, she could have picked up a pretty penny for her "hurt feelings," and she would be hailed as a heroine for standing up for her "rights" and sticking it to "the man" (or at least to the meat). Instead of that rosy scenario she is now facing a criminal charge and a good stretch in jail.

Dumb. Really dumb.
