Will this shrimp fly?

Yup, it’s a shrimp on a treadmill. Can it take off?

If it’s prepared.

Well, son, what did you do at work today?

I forced some sick shrimp to exercise on a treadmill while wearing little weighted duct tape backpacks to tire them our quicker.

What did you prove?

That sick shrimp can’t run as long as healthy shrimp.

. . . .


Yes, I know. Basic science and establish a baseline and all.

Still doesn’t seem like Nobel material. And I hope no one made them little hats to wear, although that would increase their hits on YouTube.

I hope they don’t get around to radiating them.

You mean with a little butter & salt?

I was thinking Batman, but butter and garlic will work.

I dunno…Batman might taste better with wing sauce. Or capers, with a side of boysenberry.

I read the title as “Will this shrimp fry?” and imagined some sort of automated shrimp frying conveyer belt.

Now I’m hungry.

A franchise opportunity, to be sure.
