I remember the story about Spike, the 16 pound lobster at a restaurant in Malibu. Mary Tyler Moore wanted to buy it for $1,000 so she could free it.
Then Rush Limbaugh offered $2,000 so he could eat it. The owner of the restaurant loved Spike as a pet and refused to sell him to either one. I guess
that was a bit of a faux pas on Rush's part because lobster fishermen throw back the very large lobsters because those are the breeding stock. I
remember when I heard him talking about buying Spike so he could eat him, and I thought, "What a pig." |
