At least all of the hound dogs didn’t rush through the dining room and steal the shrimp dinner.
Bumpuses sons-of-bitches!
Just get Q to travel back in time and stick his hand in the primordial goop. That should do it.
Was it an oxymoronic JUMBO shrimp, or the DUCK? Or the QUACK doctor?
This is unreal. I (honestly I am not making this up) was nearly killed by an errant shrimp at Benihana. My story is a bit less ridiculous. I was eating with my wife, and as you know they have the long communal table. I ordered some type of beef dish and my wife ordered chicken.
I am deathly allergic to shellfish and have to take every measure to avoid it, what I didn’t count on was the stranger next to me ordering shrimp. When the chef arrived he dumped a big bowl of shrimp onto the hot surface right between the stranger and I. I wasn’t ready for it and I inhaled the burst of steam coming off the table. I knew right away I was in trouble, my throat started to close and I started to itch all over.
To make a long story short we left the restaurant, I guzzled liquid benadryl and started to make plans to go to the hospital. Unlike a couple of other times I managed to get through it without the full treatment. So don’t laugh those Benihana shrimp are dangerous weapons.
I’m thinking you sue the Creator for faulty neck design.
Fugu me!
I guess it isn’t possible that he tweaked his neck earlier in the day, or earlier in the week, and didn’t pay much mind to it, and only agrevated the injury at the restaurant.
If they had my lawyer this would be the weakest defense that would win.
What? I’m not in prison, am I? 
Of course, the simplest solution would be to ban shrimp alltogether so that this never happens to anyone again :rolleyes:
When shrimp is outlawed, only outlaws will eat shrimp! :mad:
Gah! That’s not the solution. We need to ban show off Asian chefs with knives and other pointy implements.
Coming soon to a restaurant near you-the kevlar Food Helmet™ with shrimp proof goggles, neck, groin protector and instantly inflatable emergency attorney!
Reading about idiots like this family is not helping me with my anger management/general hatred of humanity.
WTF? WTF? WTF?
head explodes
I’ve actually come across a similar case (for the sake of everyone involved, I’ll only say that it was a highly publicized incident and the plaintiffs are asking for millions). I actually found out some interesting info on how these supposedly frivolous suits actually work (most of the time):
The plaintiffs know going in that they don’t have a leg to stand on, and that even they do manage to bring the case to court (which itself isn’t a lock), going by the facts, they’re either going to lose or win only a token amount. What the lawyers do in this case is ask really leading or loaded questions leading up to the case, trying to get something on the record that can be used against the defendant later. If the defendant sees his/her mistake and tries to correct it later, the lawyers can point to the contradiction as deception, landing the defendant into more hot water. It’s not going to increase culpability by a signifigant amount, but when millions of dollars are involved, every little bit counts.
That’s why some plaintiffs go after every target in sight…because if someone gets careless, they can get a little extra payoff. It’s unethical behavior, to be sure, but anger, desperation, and plain 'ol greed will do that.
Nah, the real reason these cases work is because companies will settle. Hot mcdonalds coffee anyone? or how about an abercrombie shirt?
The McDonalds coffee incident always comes up when such things are discussed. Read the details of the case before refering to it.
Ahh! But if you listen to the trial lawyers associataion her in West (land of the lawsuit) Virginia, there are NO SUCH THINGS as frivolous lawsuits. Why if this case were frivolous, and a waste of the court’s time, and people’s tax dolars, the judge would be required to throw it out. :rolleyes:
After all, why would the trila lawyers association lie to us? So to me, it seems that this MUST be a valid case, and not a pointless money grab.What is meaning of 'YMMV.
Try again. Seriously, what the fuck? You couldn’t type in 4 letters?!?
You must be THE SA of the year.
I did and drew a blank!
And a Happy New Year to you too!
And here I thought Andy would be on the other side of this suit.
