A Deal On Lobsters

The owner of a restaurant in Western Mass. was friends with the owner of a towing company. This past summer a truck filled with lobsters from Canada crashed in Western Mass.; lobsters were scattered over the highway along with a 'sprinkling' of 150 gallons of fuel. A short time later the restaurant was offering a lobster special at $19.95 and was also selling lobsters in back of the restaurant.

Were they the same lobsters that had been scattered on the highway? That's what the state claims as it has charged the friends with larceny and other crimes. Were the lobsters described as having a special sauce? Probably not. Did the friends make a few dollars on the lobster special? It sure sounds that way.

Wouldn't that be just awful if some restaurant was to purchase the said "lobsters"!

It just goes to show you never know where your dinner or lunch special of the day has actually come from. It makes you think for a moment.

Nice blog!
