The price of victory I wrote this joke in a book I published recently. >тАЬWould you like to hear a joke I wrote about seafood?тАЭ > >тАЬSure.тАЭ > >***A man went to a restaurant and ordered lobster. When the plate was placed before him, the lobster was in numerous pieces. The man asked the waiter, тАЬWhy is my lobster so broken up?тАЭ The waiter answered, тАЭThe creatures fight inside the tank and they break off each other's limbs.тАЭ The man then said, тАЬOkay, bring me the winner.тАЭ*** > >тАЬI think I've read that somewhere.тАЭ > >тАЬIt was in *Reader's Digest* many years ago.тАЭ > >тАЬThen, it is not a new joke.тАЭ > >тАЬI improved it.тАЭ > >тАЬHow?тАЭ > >***The waiter agreed with the customer, went to the kitchen and came back after a few minutes. When the new plate was placed before him, the man noticed that the new lobster was mostly intact but it had two parts detached. He said, тАЬThis one does not have a claw and something else too.тАЭ The waiter said тАЬSir, this is indeed the victor but victory cost him an arm and a leg.тАЭ***
