A former San Francisco police officer is suing the city. He claims that the stroke which forced him to retire is the result of the curse of King Tut, whose burial mask he guarded when it was exhibited here about 2 years ago. (I've heard that the San Francisco city attorney settles just about anything out of court, even stuff as patently absurd as this, which may explain the suit. The cursed cop is being represented by the PBA [union] lawyer. Does anyone have a scroll of remove-curse they can send this goniff?)
