You can sue for anything, but are you going to prove that a blind person who 
doesn't see anything, caused harm by walking in to a restroom?  If so, let's 
ban Halloween, April Fools Day, any jokes at all.  Lets give up and die so 
as not to harm anybody else.  Its a great story, and think of the milage she 
can get out of it by threatening to tell it at her daughter's wedding.
