Woman Claims She Was Sexually Assaulted When A Hibachi Chef Squirted Her With A Toy

Fox News- A nostalgic prank toy has been accused of sexual assaulting a restaurant patron at a hibachi grill in Murfreesboro, Tenn. Pull down Wee Pee the Wee Wee Squirting Boy’s short pants and he does what little boys have been doing ever since human beings learned how to stand on their own two feet. The toy, which has been around since the 1940s, is 8-inches-tall and works just like a water gun. It retails for about $5 on Amazon. Pull down his pants, a jetstream of water– or any other liquid– comes squirting out. Hibachi chefs at Wasabi restaurant in Murfreesboro have used Wee Pee’s antics for years to amuse diners by squirting a little H2O while they juggle their knives and sizzle up onions. Most people think it’s pretty funny. Isabelle Lassiter isn’t one of them. Lassiter, her husband, James, and their four children were seated at the hibachi table in the Japanese restaurant Tuesday night when the chef brought out Wee Pee, pulled down his plastic pants and squirted water on her. Lassiter was offended. In fact, she said, she felt sexually offended. So she called the police, according to NewsChannel5 in Nashville. The cops rushed to the scene of the crime and, according to the incident report, James Lassiter “stated the toy figure had a penis and his wife felt sexually assaulted.” 

First things first. Hibachi grills are some of the dopest things on the planet. I remember the first time I went to one. It was my rich friend’s 10th birthday and his parents took me and a bunch of boys to a place called Three Samurai. I didn’t know what to expect and had my entire brain exploded outta my skull it was so awesome. Chef dudes just whipping knives and spatulas around like they were an extension of their body. Throwing shrimp and chicken into people’s mouths from the goddamn parking lot. It was incredible. Not to mention the food was Outta. This. World. Little 10-year-old Iowa Trent was not ready for it and, up to that point, it was the greatest experience of his life. As a matter fact it still is. I’ve been to a few hibachi grills since then but I’m still giddy as a school girl whenever I go. Having a shrimp flipped into my mouth by a master chef was a literal dream come true.

And that’s what this over sensitive lady didn’t seem to understand. When you walk into a hibachi restaurant, all bets are off. You give up most of your rights the minute you step through those doors. That’s just the way it is. It’s not gonna be your normal dining experience You’re gonna have things thrown at you and squirted at you constantly. Hell, your eyebrows might even catch on fire but it’s part of the experience. And yes, a guy might squirt you with a little doll that looks like it’s taking a piss on you. That’s hibachi baby. Roll with the punches. It takes a real stuck up piece of work to have that happen and leap all the way to sexual assault. I bet that chick is super fun at parties.
