The Lobster Story
In a small fishing village, a Bluenoser was walking up the wharf carrying two - at least three-pound live lobsters - one in each hand.
It was three weeks after the season closed! Whom should he meet at the end of the wharf but the Fishery Officer who, upon viewing the live and wiggling lobsters, says: “Well me Laddie I got you this time - with two live lobsters three weeks after the season closed!”
The Bluenoser says, “No - My Son you are wrong! These are two trained lobsters that I caught two weeks before the season ended.”
The Fishery Officer says, “Trained like how?”
“Well my son, each day I takes these two from my house down to the wharf and puts them in the water for a swim. While they swim I sits on the wharf and has me a smoke, or two. After about 15 minutes I whistles and up comes me two lobsters, and I takes them home!”
“Likely story”, the Fishery officer says! “Let’s take them on down the wharf and see if it’s true.”
So, the Bluenoser goes ahead of the Fishery Officer to the end of the wharf where, under supervision, he gently lowers both lobsters into the water.
The Bluenser sits on a wharf piling and lights up a smoke, then another! After about 15 minutes the Fishery Officer says to the Bluenoser, “How about whistling?”
The Bluenoser says “what For?”
The Fishery Officer says, “To call in the Lobsters”
The Bluenoser says, “What Lobsters?”
