A cousin of mine manages a small little seafood restaurant. It's a family restaurant and with family restaurants are annoying kids. So, I'm eating there one night and there is this couple next to me with three demons from hell running around the place and annoying everyone in sight. And the parents aren't doing a thing about it. So, after numerous complaints, a waiter goes up to the parents and tells them he needs to get their kids to settle down. They don't. The waiter comes back and tells them they really need to get their kids to behave. Again, they ignore him. Finally, my cousin, tired of these brats and of sending waiters over to that table, decides to take matters into his own hands. He sees the kids over at the lobster tank (by the way, it's near the door) and the kids are trying to get into the tank, poking at it, pushing at it, yelling at the lobsters to do something, yadda yadda yadda. My cousin gets on the speaker and announces to the whole restaurant, "Will the parents of the three young children by the lobster tank please tell them to quit harassng the lobsters. Again, will the parents of the three young children by the lobster tank please tell them to quit harassing the lobsters. Thank you!" The parents turn beet red as everyone looks over at the lobster tank. The mother gets up and rushes her kids back to their table. They quickly eat, pay, and leave. As they left, everyone applauded which turned them as red as a tomato.

Kudos to your cousin! Should be a good lesson to those parents. If I had been acting like that out in public, I wouldn't have been able to sit down for a week.A fact of life: After Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says W T F..... -

That is one fabulous story!I will not shove “it” up my backside. I do not know what “it” is, but in my many years on this earth I have figured out that that particular port hole is best reserved for emergency exit only. -GKComment

There is a lobster tank at the local Wal-Mart. Obviously, since the price per lb of lobster is outrageous, the tank never really empties, lol...
Little kids are always pounding on the tank and freaking out on the lobsters.You really need to see a neurologist. - WagegothComment
