Greatest. Lawsuit. Ever.

This story is tremendous.

Woman is suing the restaurant chain Benihana for the death of her husband in (insert Spinal Tappian British accent here) a bizarre shrimp incident.

This case raises some Jumbo questions. In the sea of precedent concerning proximate cause, I don't know that we've seen anything so delicious. Can the chef claim that the Diablo made him do it? Is there contributory negligence because of the consumption of any Cocktails? Will the widow be able to Curry favor with the jury? Whose going to sell Popcorn at the trial? Will the presiding judge turn out to be Sweet or Sour toward this claim?

Will Benihana wind up Deep Fried, or will they float away like a Butterfly?
