'''Facts''': Ferens, a resident of Pennsylvania, lost his right hand in a John Deer combine harvester. For some reason, he didn't file negligence and product liability suit against John Deer until after the Pennsylvania two year statute of limitations had passed. So Ferens filed in Mississippi, which has a six year statute of limitations.
