A Good Laugh

I was skimming through the news tonight and came across a story that I must admit I had to read twice.  However, it did provide a good laugh.  Here is the story courtesy of ABC3340:

"D'IBERVILLE, Miss. (AP) - A man in southern Mississippi is accused of trying to walk out of a D'Iberville grocery store without paying for food items he'd stuffed into his cargo shorts including live lobsters.
Police Chief Wayne Payne says 35-year-old Nathan Mark Hardy was arrested Saturday after allegedly being caught stuffing food into his cargo shorts - two bags of jumbo shrimp, a pork loin and two live lobsters.
Payne says Hardy, of Biloxi, tried to escape by throwing the pork loin at employees at the local Winn Dixie but fell while running away. He was arrested at the scene.
The shoplifting charge is a misdemeanor, but Hardy remained jailed Wednesday in the Harrison County jail with no bond pending a hearing on a probation violation."

Having worked in grocery stores for quite a while at one point in my life, I have seen my share of shoplifters.  I do think, though, that the live lobsters are probably the most unusual thing I have ever heard of someone attempting to steal.

Come on - I love lobster as well as the next person - but I don't think I would want to stuff two live lobsters in my pants pockets.  The possibilities here is what makes the story so humorous. 

Anyone out there brave enough for this??
