Only in NYC you can step on a pile of bird droppings and have the city give you a couple of million dollars compensation.

56-year-old Shelton Stewart slipped on the station steps back in 1998, injuring his neck and back.

Despite his own confession that he had notices the pile of excrement a jury awarded Stewart 7.67 million dollars in damages. But since his confession makes him 20% liable for the fall NYC transit authority has to pay only 6.13 million.

Stewart was reportedly planning to use his windfall to buy a house and take his two daughters and grandchild to Disney World in Florida.
