My friend Bloke has a blue lobster. Why would any self-respecting Lt.Col. need one of these. Simple-he uses it to pick up girls. Or at least he tries to do this. Here's how the scam works. We have lunch at the Runway Diner and Bloke asks for a go-box for the food he doesn't eat. When the waitress brings it, he says it is for his pet lobster. Well, the waitress always falls for that line and asks about his lobster. Here, any normal human male being would start a conversation which would end with "...are you free this evening?" But Bloke starts a one-sided discussion about how his lobster rearranges his environment and behaves in a lobster-like manner. The waitress stares at the ceiling and asks if we would like a refill on our Diet Pepsi. If I were single I would find a place to ask if she wants to see my crustacean. But that's just me.
