"Except maybe tax attorneys, nothing sits better on the edge of a Martini glass than shrimp"

[Rabrrrrrr]

:wtf:

Alton Brown said that on his shrimp show while he was placing the shrimp for shrimp cocktail on the edge of a Martini glass.

I don't get it.

Any thoughts as to what tax attorneys have to do with sitting on the edge of a Martini glass?

3. Me, too - three Martini lunch, but not the other. How about a surreal one?

4. Well sometimes the only thing between you and the peasants is a portcullis

in that case having your ass look like a limey might be worth the trade off.

Bartender, another shrimp, please.
