    Red Lobster executives:

    “No one could possibly eat that much shrimp.”

    Later…

    “I’m sorry, sir. You’ve eaten every shrimp at every Red Lobster in the entire state and it’s only been six hours. We don’t have any more shrimp for you. That will be $20.”

      Did a thing like that in my 20s. Got stoned with my best friend and gf, hit the local seafood joint.

      Coming back to the table with my 5th plate of shrimp and my friend heard a man tell his wife, “Well it is all you can eat. He can do that if he wants.”

      One week later and they were out of business.
