Lawsuit Logic

It's almost like a litigious haiku:
LODI, Calif. -- A Lodi man is suing the city for driving a dump truck into his car. The strange thing is that he was the city employee driving the truck.
Lodi officials denied Curtis Gokey's $3,600 claim for the December accident because he was, in essence, suing himself. So he and his wife, Rhonda, decided to file a new claim under her name.
Rhonda Gokey's claim is for $1,200 more than Curtis'. She said that she is not as nice as her husband.
