Paraphrase and Summarise
Five years ago a man took a pair into his local dry cleaners in Washington DC to get them altered for ten dollars. But the cleaners lost them. And now that man, Roy Pearson, who happens to be a judge, is suing.
The South Korean owners, offered him a thousand dollars to settle, later raising that to twelve-thousand dollars. But Mr Pearson wasn't satisfied. He claims he is owed sixty-seven million dollars. Much of this case rests on two signs which were on the dry cleaners' walls which said "satisfaction guaranteed" and "same day service." Mr Pearson says he didn't get either, so the signs amount to fraud.

But why sixty-seven-million dollars? He's claiming this is the sum of fines compounded daily, emotional damage, legal fees and car hire to get to another cleaners since the case began. This lawsuit might seem hard to believe and some Washington lawyers have described it as absurd, saying the case should be thrown out of court and Mr Pearson removed from office.

In Washington DC about five years ago, a man took his trousers to the laundry, but the laundry lost them. Now, the owner Mr. Pearson accused him of losting his trousers.
The South Korea owener give Mr. Pearson a thousand dollars to settle the case, after that raising the price to twelve thousand dollars.Even so, Mr. Pearson wasn't happy and he even think that the cleaner owes he sixty-seven million dollars.Because most of dry clearner's walls always says " satisfaction guaranteed" and "same day service", but Mr. Pearson says he didn't get either,he said he was taken in by the sign.
But why he request sixty-seven-million dollars? He profess it's the sum of forfeit compounded daily, emotional damage, legal fees also since the case begin, that he had to pay the money that Mr. Pearson hire a car to get to the clothes to another laundry. This law suit is very inconceivable, and some lawyer in washington esteem the case as irrational. And conceive the case should be stopped immediately, also Mr. Pearson should lose his job.
