The Wednesday 'Dad Joke'

Hi All,

A new blog segment was briefly discussed over a few jars at Trivia a week or so ago and I thought I'd try to put it into action.

Suggestions for the Wednesday 'Dad Joke' can be e-mailed to me at bryan_foley@hotmail.com and the winners will be posted.

Here's this week's entry... Enjoy!

Douglas the Crab

Douglas the humble Crab and Kate the Lobster Princess were madly,
deeply and passionately in Love. For months they enjoyed an
idyllic relationship until one day Kate scuttled over to Douglas
in tears.
"We can't see each other any more..." she sobbed.
"Why?" gasped Douglas.
"Daddy says that crabs are too common," she wailed. "He claims
you are a mere crab, and a poor one at that, and crabs are the
lowest class of crustacean and that no daughter of his will marry
someone who can only walk sideways."
Douglas was shattered, and scuttled sidewards away into the
darkness to drink himself into a filthy state of aquatic
oblivion.
That night, the great Lobster ball was taking place. Lobsters
came from far and wide, dancing and merry making, but the lobster
Princess refused to join in, choosing instead to sit by her
father's side, inconsolable.
Suddenly the doors burst open, and Douglas the crab strode in.
The Lobsters all stopped their dancing, the Princess gasped and
the King Lobster rose from his throne.
Slowly, painstakingly, Douglas the crab made his way across the
floor.......and all could see that he was walking, not
sideways............but FORWARDS.........Yes FORWARDS, one claw
after
another!!
Step by step he made his approach towards the throne, until he
looked
the King lobster in the eye.


There was a deadly hush..................................




For quite a while...........................




Finally, the crab spoke.......

"F-ck, I'm pissed."
