Fantastic way to get a conversation going, no matter their thoughts on lobster :)

Try it out!

EDIT: Those who are saying this is dumb are missing the point. This will allow you to segue into a conversation about how you had a lobster cook-out that day and how you felt putting the live lobsters into the boiling water, etc etc. You can be crazy, over-the-top, or showcase your sensitive side about how it made you feel... Whatever you want!

The idea is to provide a jumping off point for a robust conversation which you can take in different directions. Hence why it's a good opener.

Additionally it provides that "Uh, what?" shock moment that youshallhaveeverbeen mentioned below. This is powerful stuff.

Try it out sometime. Bonus points if you actually cook lobster before heading out :D
