    Earlier today my nephew-in-law gave me a live lobster
    that I then had to cook for my ill brother. I didn't
    like doing that since I don't like plunging a live
    lobster into boiling water. But I did it.

    Then when it was cooked I did my blessing on the dead
    on it, including a link to Fiddler's Green and its harbour https://www.irishsongs.com/lyrics.php?Action=view&Song_id=113 .

    I then divined by perineum click divination that the
    lobster had gone into the beyond afterlife and so
    is no longer eligible for reincarnation.

    I then considered possible soul alignments for the
    lobster, first Gahan House and The Trinity Pub in
    St. John's, but those were rejected. I then
    suggested Mrs. Liddy's, the oldest bar in Newfoundland,
    which is likely to be around for a while, and that
    was accepted. Of course a more appropriate soul
    alignment there would be with Mrs. Liddy, but
    I divined that she has reincarnated (as a dolphin), so
    such a soul alignment is no longer possible. See https://m.facebook.com/MrsLiddys/?_rdr&wtsid=rdr_0EGNbUpHCg5NV7n9I

    There is a spot somewhere between the eyes where you can push a pin and
    kill the lobster instantly,allegedly, but if you cant find the knack
    online, the next-best-bet is to boil somewater, let it cool and place
    the lobster (or crab) in it.

    Boiling the water drives off oxygen in solution and the crustacian dies painlessly.

    The quality of the meat is much enhanced too, as on expiring, all the
    muscles are relaxed.

    To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.

    My ex-chef brother knows how to do it, and I will have
    to get him to explain it to me before next year’s season.
