Attorney Sabato DeVito, who represents Johnny Eugene Smith of Spring Hill, Fla., says his client might not have wrecked his Corvette if the Calendar Girls strip club hadn’t been so willing to indulge his taste for the bottle.

University of Florida law professor Lars Noah told the Times the suit isn’t frivolous, but it’s unlikely to go far in the legal system.

“It’s kind of surprising that any lawyer worth his salt would take a case like that,” Noah said. “I’m partly to blame for that, I guess. We’re churning them out.”
