Flexed Mussels

At the weekend I went out for lunch with a friend. Neither of us were feeling that great – she is currently working for the boss from hell, I had just turned down a two book deal (yes, you did read that correctly!) – so it was dangerously close to turning into a moan fest.

But then our lunch arrived and with it a gift from the comedy Gods so jaw achingly funny I just had to take a picture of it so I could share it with you here.

No, you’re not seeing things, it really is a mussel with what looks like a stonking errection!

“At least he died happy,” my friend mused as I got my phone out to take the above pic.

Just at that moment the waitress arrived back at our table with the drinks. “What are you doing?” she asked, then uttered a long, shell-shocked (excuse the pun) ‘Ohhhh,’ as she looked over my shoulder at the object of my lens.

Of course this only made it all the more funnier. Not only did my lunch have an errection but I was taking pictures of it like some sleazy photographer for PlayFish magazine.

Anyway, I hope it brightens up your Monday like it brightened up our weekend….
