Unless you find the prime number 23 hilarious, there’s not much funny stuff about Maine.

Except this:

The University of Maine has a “Lobster Institute”. (true)

The Uni has studied all the clicking and bubbling that lobsters do and discovered they’re trying to communicate with us (fact check this shit before repeating it to your friends).

Which motherfucker put these motherfucking rubber bands on our arms?

Motherfucking surf and turf! You motherfucking overfed pig! Stick with the turf and leave the motherfucking surf out of it. Besides you look ridiculous in a motherfucking lobster bib.

Yeah, this motherfucking boiling water is motherfucking hot!! Fuck youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!

That’s what the U of M lobster linguists have learned so far. Studies are ongoing.

In a separate but related finding, it is now believed that the “L.” in Samuel L. Jackson’s name is short for his boyhood nickname, “The Lobster.” He too says “motherfucking” … a lot.
