I'm inclined to agree with Kathleen, that there's a visual pun that goes along with it... maybe a pinching motion with both hands, as is commonly used to imply someone "talks too much". Doing a Google search, I only found it on one page, and it's a (slightly) different version: A lobster walks into a bar, but the barman tells him to get out straight away. "Why?" asks the lobster. "You come in here, giving it all that..." There's no mention of gestures there though. - -- In a message dated 11-22-02 7:53:56 PM Pacific Standard Time, plotner@mindspring.com writes: > A lobster walks into a bar.
