Family of Man killed by flying shrimp...sues

The family of Jerry Colaitis is suing Japanese steakhouse Benihana's claiming his death resulted from the chef flipping a shrimp at him during dinner. Anyone who's dined at a Japanese steakhouse knows that this is part of the "show". Part of the fun of this style of dining is the interaction with the chef who prepares the food at the table. Now liberal trial lawyer safety czars are on the warpath ready to protect us from the danger of flying shrimp. It'll be one damn boring world if these guys get all the safety they want.

The family of a 43-year-old Long Island man is seeking $10 million in damages, claiming he died months after ducking a flying shrimp tossed by a hibachi chef at a Japanese steakhouse.
