Cruel and Unusual Punishment

What would you do if you were locked up in a cage and you were forced to sit there and watch people eating your family? 

Strong and strange question huH?  It was something that I thought about when we went to Red Lobster today and as we were being brought to our table two things caught my eye.  Close to the front of the restaurant was the tank with the lobsters, just sitting at the bottom with their claws rubber banded (geese, I still find that cruel too, it's like duck taping our hands!).  A little further on the trip to our table was another tank, but this time with goldfish swimming around. 

I'm not sure what the mental capacity is of fish, lobsters or any other animal, but I can only imagine how crazy it must be to be stuck there in those tanks and being able to see people eating relatives and family members!  I felt kind of bad having my lunch ... but not enough to eat everything on my plate and Diday's plate too!

The shrimp, lobster was way too much and now I suffer the consequences.  I feel so tired and so slugish that I don't want to do anything, but I must.  I'm actually off to iron some shirts for the work week ... yes I am not going to do the 5 day shirt this week (well at least I hope I don't). 

I digress, whomever thought of the "design" with the tanks in Red Lobster ... must like torture!
