Dear Meghan,
Do you think it would be possible to train a lobster as an office assistant? My friend George (something of a whizz with a stapler) is convinced that the dual-clawed crustacean would make a rather wonderful ‘In’ and ‘Out’ tray: those items that need to be done clasped tight in the right claw, those items that have been recently completed clamped solid in the left. We wonder if, aside from these duties, you could also use it as a paper weight (once dry).
We would welcome your thoughts on this and, if they’re suitable, we may also ask you what we could do with a bag full of coral (please DO NOT reference this in any response).
Yours,
—
