She didn’t want the lobsters to go to pot.

And so a guest at a swank Cape Cod clambake grabbed five about-to-be-boiled crustaceans, tossed them in her car, drove them a nearby harbor, and returned them to the deep.

Then she returned to the party and tried to rescue some more, offering fellow guests cash for their dinners.

Arlene Ellis explained that when she saw the lobsters “wiggling their tails” in the pot, “They were saying, ‘Take me back to the beach.'”

Party-giver George Regan’s reaction? “Next year I’ll make sure there’s no endangered species on the menu. We’re going with all hot dogs.”

Four North Carolina men were arrested after they were caught cruising a main drag in an SUV while watching a porn flick.

Cops in High Point charged the men with disseminating obscenity, a felony, because the film – being shown on a video screen in their Lincoln Navigator – could be seen “by anyone behind the vehicle.”

One of the four said he was puzzled by the arrest, noting there “wasn’t nothing freaky” about the film, it just showed a “little bit of getting it on.”

If convicted, the four face up to six months of porn-free jail-time.

Customers are lining up to use the cash machine at Omaha’s American National Bank – and then getting back in line use it again.

The reason? It’s rigged to dole out bonus bucks.

The bank has put some $50 bills in the machine’s $20 stack, and some $20s in the $10 stack as part of a special “road warrior” promotion.

Sorry – the bank’s not planning to open any branches in New York.

Elvis is truly the toast of New Zealand.

A creative Kiwi has made a king-size portrait of The King – out of 4,000 slices of toast.

Artist Maurice Bennett said it took him two months to piece together the portrait, using bread toasted “to different tones to create skin highlights and shadows.”

Hopefully the pieces won’t get All Shook Up before the portrait goes on exhibit next month in Wellington.
