I’m sorry but in this country if Gwyneth Paltrow runs you over on a ski slope you say “Thank you” and move on with your life.

Other Twitter reactions
As the ski accident trial roars on, so do the hilarious Twitter reactions.
Today I found out that Gwyneth Paltrow, whose net worth is $200 million, is countersuing the skier for $1. That is *one* dollar. A level of pettiness to which we should all aspire.
