Give that woman some Haldol!
A New Mexico woman somehow managed to get a restraining order against David Letterman. One might ask what horrible things he was doing to her. In fact, a judge might even ask that. I'll give you some quotes as listed in her court documents.


"Dave responded to my thoughts of love, and, on his show, in code words & obvious indications through jestures and eye expressions, he asked me to come east," she explained. A coded marriage proposal would follow, added Nestler, when Letterman announced on a show promo, "Marry me Oprah." The name Oprah, Nestler reported, "had become my first of many code-names."
...

Letterman subjected her to "bankruptsy, mental cruelty, sleep deprivation" She also requested that Letterman be ordered to cease thinking of her and stop his "mental harrasment & hammering."


Now Dorland's medical dictionary defines 'delusions of reference' as: a delusional conviction that ordinary events, objects, or behaviors of others have an unusual or peculiar meaning specifically for oneself.

It's most frequently seen in schizophrenic patients; in fact, Charlie Manson thought that the Beatles were speaking to him through the White Album. I'd be willing to guess that, if medicated properly, this woman's 'harassment' by Letterman would totally go away.

As an update, a judge tossed her claim. She says that she'll break Letterman's legs if he comes to New Mexico, but that that statment 'isn't a threat.'
