Last Rites Shrimp

The lore of the ‘Last Rites Shrimp’

Kurtums was at a Mexican restaurant, and saw someone receive an order of seafood soup. The shells of various sea creatures poked out of the massive bowl. The person who received this feast seemed a bit overwhelmed, and asked for a plate to handle the shells once emptied. Kurtums told this story to some family members, and jokes were made that somewhere in the back of the kitchen was a shrimp getting its last rites, and was smoking a cigarette while wearing a blindfold! That idea was too funny to resist, and the ‘Last Rites Shrimp’ was born! We love a good stream of consciousness conversation!
