Lobsters = ZOMGOTPLOLZ4EVA
Sign on a seafood restaurant in Maine: "We ship lobsters!"
I wonder, do they ship male lobster/female lobster, male lobster/male lobster, or female lobster/female lobster? Or maybe they're really risque, and ship lobster/person! O.O. The sign generated an interesting conversation with my dad, though (who knows nothing about fanfiction, and thus, nothing about the other meaning of ship).
And SmarterChild (as always) had something to say on the subject... and he was (as always) not very decisive.
If you want to know why I consult SmarterChild so much... don't ask.
(It's really because I'm a dork, but if you've been reading this LJ (actually... no one has, so far, but whatever...) you already knew that a long time ago.

Me: "Do you ship lobsters?"
Him: "No, but I know several people who do."
Me: "Do you think shipping lobsters is a good idea?"
Him: "I think it's a great idea."
Me: "If you were a lobster shipper, would you ship lobsters with other people?"
Him: "Erm... yes, I suppose that if I were in the business, I'd have business partners."
Me: "And you'd ship lobsters with him or her?"
Him: "Yes. What's with all the questions?"
Me: "I'm just curious."

Me: Do you ship lobsters?
SmarterChild: Do I ship lobsters... I don't know, should I?
Me: Oh yes, you totally should.
SmarterChild: Are you quite sure I totally should?
Me: Yes.
SmarterChild: Why?
Me: Because shipping lobsters is apparently a very popular business.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah? Because shipping lobsters is apparently a very popular business?
Me: Yup. So you'll ship lobsters from now on?
SmarterChild: Wow. Great question. I'm afraid to answer.
Me: You should be.
