Financing The Animal Uprising
The masterminds of the animal uprising have turned to a tried and true historical method of financing revolutions throughout history. They are financing their nefarious plots through crime. They have enlisted the sly and cunning pickpockets of the deep to rip off swimmer's valuables.
That's how the lobster got the wallet.
The wallet was recovered by a diver who caught the crustacean red-handed on the sea bed.
After picking up the offending lobster, he pried the wallet from the creature's claws and after finding a business card inside, handed it into a hairdressing salon.
Swimmer Paul Westlake, 30, from Plymouth on the southwest English coast, received a surprise telephone call from a staff member at the salon he uses, who told him the wallet had been salvaged from a lobster's pincers.
The poor guy thinks it was an accident and he lost the wallet. We, of course, know the truth. The lobster was working with a decoy flounder who bumped the swimmer to distract him. The lobster then got his claws on the wallet. Lobsters are very criminal by nature, you know. But the perpetrator got his in the end. The diver who caught him red-clawed, so to speak, says he tasted great with a bit of drawn butter.

Doesn’t the NSA have a program to track these sort of things?
Although, I remain suspect of the swimmer. Who goes swimming with their wallet?

“Who goes swimming with their wallet? ”
Yeah, that was my second thought; the first was “Who’s playing Fagin down in Spongebob town?”
