As I say many times "only in America".

They must be pretty game - you don't want to f**k with benihana - next thing you know there'll be an army of cleaver wielding Japanesse chef's standing on your front lawn.
which actually takes me into yesterday's thread about air marshall's - why not station a hibatchi chef at every cockpit door complete with a tub of shrimp and some knives - ain't no-one going to get past that bad boy.

And thats the problem and why frivolous lawsuits are so common here....If you lose you dont pay the other persons costs by default and so there is no reason not to sue. After all...if it aint gonna cost you a penny what have you to lose?

.. a cunning plan methinks! (PLus the food will be a lot better than the processed crap currently served..!)

Re: Enough of this America - Frivolous law suits, gone madder
 

food, what food? Please tell us the airline that serves food - even processed ;)

I like the hibachi chef guarding the cockpit door - way too funny. Throw prawns (shrimp) down the throats of anyone that tries to takeover the plane... It'll break their necks every time.. hee hee..

I agree, frivolous lawsuits exist in American -- but not ONLY in America. I remember hearing about this lawsuit 4 years ago when I was in New Zealand:

New Zealand Muslim Family Seeks Mecca Trip After Bacon Meal

HASTINGS, NEW ZEALAND, July 17 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - A Muslim family in Hastings, New Zealand, is demanding that the Pizza Haven company pay for them to go to Mecca for pilgrimage after they found out that the vegetarian pizza they ordered contained bacon, newspapers reported on Tuesday.

Never did find out what happened, though...

I know what you mean, but the home of the insane lawsuit and the evil corp - which now exist everywhere - is America. I just wish this country, with all the wonderful things it has to offer could export something better.
