Libster Lobster

Where are you?

Gone to lunch

Ready for a hot bath?

Appeal the ruling!

Bailiff, bring the rubber bands.

The lobster’s lawyer was Claw-rence Darrow, and the chef was represented by Johnny Cook-ran, who was working on retainer.

Trapped on a technicality: The Lobster Clause.

“You shouldn’t have been against the term ‘buttering’ him up”.

To celebrate let me take you out for a nice seafood dinner

Love the picture of butter sauce on the table!

Sung to the tune of “It’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight”.

Mixing metaphors: I think his goose is cooked! (Sorry)

Careful your honor. You can’t accept gifts worth more than $50 (anyone seen the price of a lobster dinner lately?)

Dinner!

Lobsters only red after cooking.

I don’t get this. Wouldn’t the cook have wanted the restraining order? This looks like a victory for the lobster.

I bet he’s boiling mad

One of the items on our “bucket list” is to go to Maine during the peak fall color time and have some legendary New England lobster. The best lobster I’ve had to date was a grilled rock lobster that was caught that day when I had a trip to Guantanamo Bay (GITMO) , Cuba while I was in the Navy. My mouth drools just remembering it.

Hey, that lobster is red. He’s already had his hot bath!

Judgement at Newburg.

The loobster can count on his friends to rescue him.

He thought he was on a roll, and now he will be.

This lobster is already cooked. Live lobsters are bluish black. This message from a vegetarian who has never eaten lobster.

His goose is cooked.

“Court is adjourned for lunch. If you return from lunch you may make your appeal.”

Joke is unclear. But any lobster that color RED is DEAD.

Judge: I’ll be the judge of that steamed lobster. I mean, I’ll be the judge of that, esteemed lobster.

The chef must have bribed the judge with … umm … let’s see…

He’s sentenced to be drawn in buttered.
