Story time (yeah, I posted this in LJ, but it bears repeating because I love the story =p)!
A friend of mine and his girlfriend came into the store I work (seafood section of a grocery store) the other day. There weren’t many lobsters in the tank, but there were a lot of cooked ones- because the tank was essentially killing the lobsters. But when he asked why… well- here is how the conversation went:
ME: Oh yeah, someone was fired today.
FR: What does that have to do with this?
ME: He got mad and threw a stereo into the lobster tank… they were electrocuted- so we cooked them.
FR: Oh my GOD! Is that safe?
ME: I’m not sure…but electrocuted lobster is delicious. A delicacy.
FR: Wow…
FR’s GF: You know, they really shouldn’t take the loss of their job out on the poor animals.
ME: Yeah, well… some people are just cruel.
I think I’ll tell them eventually- although the price of being that gullible is high.
