Pizza Lobster

Fred used to work at Pizza Hut. He now works at Red Lobster. Wilma
tells a Betty a story about how Pebbles now refers to his workplace as
Lobster Hut. Giggling ensues.

Barney interrupts to say, "Or you could call it Pizza Lobster."

At first, we assumed he was making fun. After some back and forth, and
undue amounts of laughter, we determined he wasn't. Asks Barney, "Why
would it be Lobster Hut?"

"Because Lobster Hut has meaning," says I, "and Pizza Lobster does not."

"Sure it does!"

We laugh, then stare blankly. "Please, describe this enigmatic Pizza
Lobster to us, ingredient by ingredient," I command Barney.

After several minutes of painful and rewarding laughter, Betty
observes that Barney seeks a combination that uses first word, "pizza"
or "red," and second word, "hut" or "lobster." Says I, "He applies a
mathematical solution to a word problem."

Barney seeks to fit life into tiny boxes which are drawn for it.
They're so cute when they're young.

Bus trips are fun.
