A New Yorkian widowess is claiming her husband was yet another hapless victim of man’s greatest foe: the shrimp. While eating grillside at Benihana, a theatrical chef tossed a shrimp toward Jerry Colaitis who, depending on whose version you believe,
either dodged it or tried to catch it in his mouth. Mrs. Colaitis insists the shrimp-dodge led to the neck pain which led to the surgery which led to the blood poisoning. Her husband died 10 months after the fateful (or fatal) meal.
The defense pointed out that the lawsuit was stupid. The jury agreed, and chose not to award the $16 million sought by the incorrigible Mrs. Colaitis.
