Seafood
A man boarded an airplane in New Orleans, with a box of crabs.
A female crew member took the box and promised to put it in the crew's refrigerator, which she did. The man firmly advised her that he was holding her personally responsible for the crabs staying frozen, and proceeded to rant and rave about what would happen to her if she let the crabs thaw out. Shortly before landing in New York, she announced to the entire cabin, "Would the gentleman who gave me the crabs in New Orleans please raise his hand?" Not one hand went up . . . so she took them home and ate them.
