The annals of Scientific Mishaps has another chapter. From the Ellsworth, Maine police department:
were you driving a Blue 4 Door Chevy Car with State, “University” plates with two wreaths in the rear seat?
Do you now have a large plastic tub with cups containing scallop guts intended for a research project at the University of Maine?
My husband put them in the wrong car by mistake
Please call XXX-XXXX.
Via L.M.
They took off with a whole tub of scallop guts and didn’t even share? Awfully shellfish of them.
har har har … if only they had a hero on a halfshell who would help them.
Samples were recovered thanks to the media attention! I’m very happy to say they’re on there way back to me again.
And the full story – ON COLBERT!
This is the best thing ever. Disclosure: I live on Mount Desert Island, just 2 miles from that scallop-gonad-black-hole the Somesville One-Stop.
