What a catch! Man gets caught stuffing pants with lobsters

Picture 11.pngIn what’s perhaps the strangest news story I’ve read in a while, NBC is reporting that a San Diego man was charged with trying to poach 6 lobsters from a marine conservation area. Officials became suspicious when they saw “unusual bulges” in his trousers. Apparently, the gentleman tried to walk out of the park with the live lobsters, wrapped in newspaper, all stuffed down his legs. While I haven’t seen any reports on what type of pants the guy was wearing (does anyone else sense an endorsement deal?), having that many crustaceans down your shorts might not be as uncomfortable as you think: news services are reporting that lobsters in the San Diego area don’t have pincers.

  1. Hmm. Keep an eye out for similar stories, and if it becomes a running feature I humbly suggest calling it “Crustacean Nation.”

  2. [insert obvious crab joke here]
