Help Save The Crustaceans!

So I practically got accosted out the door of my office building today. I always laugh, because apparently my forehead states "Tell Me All," to every single human on the face of the planet that walks by me. When really it is just my insincere customer service smile I give to everyone. Anyways, this silly lady approached me and asked me if I wanted to donate to "Help Save The Crustaceans!" I said No. She did not take "No" for an answer. She proceeded to tell me that Lobsters, Crabs, Shrimp and other crustaceans have rights. And as a patron of Seattle, I need to make sure I am aware of ALL animal rights, warm and cold blooded alike. I was laughing so hard it just pissed her off even more. I did not make a philanthropic donation to save the crustaceans of the world today. Instead, I got a series of glaring daggers stabbed into my back by some woman who has a interesting job, that I'm sure is completely hard to make a living at to survive. Only in Seattle will I be asked to "Save The Crustaceans." Funny!

Frankly,I am shocked by your callous, heartless behavior. I believe in "Saving the Crustaceans"....... for last, after I eat the veggies and bread. I feel there a place for all God's crustaceans......right next to the garlic butter sauce.
Next some dork will want to save the mosquitos and tapeworms. You're so right. Only in Seattle. Geeee Yaw, man.

So they're coming to the office now? I mean, where can you get peace from people trying to sell you stuff? This just as bad (but not as funny) as the Seattle Symphony harassing me at work!

I agree with pjmcd - Save the crustaceans until last. They are delightful. When I think of lobster my mind goes to Maine; when I think of crabs, my mind goes to Maryland. They are wonderful.
