Man accused of hiding lobster in pants

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.

"I don't marine to be down on the guy, but I hope his insurance has a special liability claws." I checked out his insurance pool-icy. It should cover any work performed by an arthropodic sturgeon. It seems he got special grouper rates which allow him to be examined any time he filets eel.

He might have tried pilfering a different kind of seafood, but he didn't want to end up with squid marks in his shorts.

Used his shorts to shoplift a lobster

He walked out with a limp
But took a hit when they bit

Simpson represented himself in court where he pleaded guilty to the charge. He told the Judge, "I just wished I hadn't poured the hot melted butter down there too."

Thanks for the howl!
To: Rennes Templar
Obviously the result of taking too much sea-alis. But then it's probably a fancy tail that he cooked up.
