Gentlemen, I found this every bit a disturbing as you did, but I felt obliged to share. In The bakery where I work, we are right next to the seafood counter. They have a large tank full of rubber-banded lobsters at all times. They mostly pick one corner to pile on each other, but fights do break out. The kids enjoy seeing the lobsters more than the prospect of getting a sweet from the bakery. It is all part of the grand tour. It is for this reason alone that the company authorizes me to issue free cookies, on demand, even though they cost $3.29 a dozen. These are the kind of cookies that a really bad aunt who hates you would send you for your birthday AND Christmas. Don't get me wrong, some folks like them, but just imagine packing material with sprinkles. While I'm sure that they have, in the year and 1/2 that I've been there, I have yet to see them sell a lobster. However, the clams above them dissapear rapidly.
Yep, I'll be having weird dreams tonight, thank you very much.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that last little yank just put me over the edge!

ReplyDeleteI guess that says somthing about this town.
Doc
I don't know that i needed to see that...
ReplyDeleteLobsters creep the living hell out of me, especially ones like THAT that don't even have proper claws.
J.P. Sartre used to have nightmares about lobsters-- he'd no doubt have a whole new philosophy to build 'round this lil' ditty.
