Paul: As Benjamin Buford Bubba Blue once said, "Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That--that's about it."

Poor Bubba lived and died without ever knowing you could get the government to foot the bill. If only he'd been born in Texas, maybe he would have been a shrimp boat captain that much sooner.
