Respect the Shrimp

I love shrimp.

They are both cute and tasty…two qualities I look for in every meal.

Some religions view shrimp as cockroaches of the sea … and so these poor little, crusty nuggets are deemed unfit for human consumption.

It doesn’t seem fair!

You should consider yourself lucky when someone calls you shrimpy. Many shrimp grow up to become strong and powerful property owners who reign over the same bullies who made growing up in the ocean trenches unbearable.

In fact, an adult mantis shrimp-with claws that can rocket out faster than a speeding bullet-is the fastest animal on earth.

They can stun and confuse even the mighty octopus with a punch that cuts into water with a force so immense that the liquid actually implodes in on itself. Don’t ever gamble with these things.

In fact, these little guys would knock your teeth out before you had a chance to swallow…which would still make them better dentists than the average tooth pulling, barber of the middle ages.

I’m agnostic…which basically means I choose to believe what suits my current needs.

And I NEED shrimp.

If blue whales get to consume millions of tiny shellfish on a daily basis, then I should get to have a few shrimp at the Crustyshack once in a while!

Because shrimp, like bacon and hamburgers, are respectable animals…and the best way to show your respect is by eating them.
