Wednesday July 1 11:13 AM EDT Man claims he was injured by dancer's breasts TAMPA, Fla. (Reuters) - A Florida man has filed suit against a nightclub, claiming he suffered whiplash when a topless dancer knocked him out with her oversized breasts, the Tampa Tribune reported Wednesday. "Apparently she jumped up and slammed her breasts on my head and just about knocked me out," the newspaper quoted plaintiff Paul Shimkonis as saying. "It was like two cement blocks hit me. I saw stars. I've never been right since." Shimkonis, 38, filed suit in Pinellas County Court seeking more than $15,000 in damages from the Diamond Dolls club. The dancer, known as Tawny Peaks, was not named in the lawsuit. According to the lawsuit, Shimkonis and friends visited the bar on Sept. 27, 1996, for his bachelor party. Because he was the guest of honor, the dancers asked him to sit on a low chair, rest his head on the back of the chair and close his eyes. The lawsuit said Peaks danced in front of him, and without warning or consent "jumped on the plaintiff forcing her very large breasts into his face causing his head to jerk backward." Shimkonis suffered head, neck and other injuries that caused bodily injury, disability, pain and suffering, disfigurement, mental anguish and loss of capacity for the enjoyment of life, the suit said. "It's so embarrassing," Shimkonis told the newspaper. "This is no joke. I'm dead serious. This really happened." Diamond Dolls representatives scoffed at the lawsuit. "We have bachelor parties all the time. Everyone has fun here," owner Jim Dato told the newspaper. "This is all pretty bizarre." "You would think the guy would love it," day shift manager Vinny Randene said.
