Man accused of hiding lobster in pants
The Courier Mail (Australia) ^ | February 15, 2006

THERE aren't too many people who could get away with hiding a whole lobster down the front of their pants.

Craig Simpson gave it a red hot go, but ended up in handcuffs in the Brisbane Magistrate's Court yesterday.

As well as the lobster, the 35-year-old from East Brisbane crammed 1kg of prawns down the front of his trousers at an inner-city supermarket on Monday.

He was charged with unauthorised dealing with shop goods after he was seen stuffing the crustaceans into his pants before walking out of the store without paying for them.

Prosecutor Sergeant Henri Rantala said police approached Simpson who told them if he had had bigger pockets, he would have stolen more.

Sgt Rantala asked that Simpson be ordered to repay the cost of the prawns and the lobster - neither of which could be returned to the store's shelves.

Simpson represented himself in court where he pleaded guilty to the charge.

Magistrate Jacqui Payne ordered Simpson to pay the supermarket $35 for the seafood, and fined him $250.

Even tho I think he's only a prawn in a much larger scheme, he should be locked away in a dungeness somewhere.

Q. What's worse than a lobster on your piano?

A. A crab on your organ.

I'm reminded of a line from an old ZZTop song.

"Just got paid today, got me a pocket full of prawns"

Mr. Simpson may have to change his first name to Claude.

..Simpson who told them if he had had bigger pockets, he would have stolen more.

He could hide this if he had Teddy K's panties.
