Steve,
Your post reminds me of my pre-Vietnam days in my first operational squadron flying A-4s outofCherry Point. Most of us young pilots would be handed a packet of fuel chitsand dispatched with “Don’t get lost.”
One fortunate soul would be designated Lobster Reno and would make sure his last pit stop would be Bangor NAS, with a belly tank converted to a dry baggage tank. The lobster brokers are Bangor were happy to deliver cases of lobsters on ice direct to the flight line. Then we would have to low-level the route back to NC. The lobsters were distributed to those who had ordered in the Ready Room Sunday night.
One unfortunate young Lieutenant hadn’t gotten the gouge, and filed a high altitude flight plan back to Cherry Point. The lobsters were a dead mess of frozen goo.
I once flew a lobster run from Bangor to Cherry Point never climbing above 500 feet above the water. Good memories. As I recall, the lobsters were $2 apiece for Chip.

Once a few inspectors receive a tune-up things will calm down.

Lobsters in the USA have yet to discover the 9th Circuit. And that is a fortunate thing.

By the end of the week the cooler was a mess with the lobster crates broken open and you’d have to hunt round in the cooler to find a loose lobster when a customer ordered one.

Everybody get outta here. There's a lobster loose!!! (26 seconds)

All these many years I didn't know this was attributed to Bill Murray, but I found this ...

Everybody get outta here, there's a lobster loose! Ohhhh, holy cow, he's loose! Everybody get outta here - he's vengeful! Quickly! Cover yourself with hot butter and carry lemons just in case you have to squirt him with it and so forth, to repel him! Everybody get outta here, quickly! There's gonna be a tradegy! Oh, God! Ohhhh - Haaaah! --Bill Murray, from National Lampoon's Radio Hour

The sound byte from National Lampoos's radio Hour was broadcast (and I first heard it) on Armed Forces Radio & TV where I first heard it when it aired in 1978. I hope this answer helps your search for the item.
