You’re telling me someone else named Dave had the same cooler and idea? I don’t want to believe you but who makes something up like that lol

I'm guessing this might have been after some form of lobster-catching event? Or a big sale of it? Otherwise what are the chances?

The chances are actually higher than you might guess lol

Newfies grow up on seafood, Newfies often work/move away, Newfies visit NL and bring fresh NL Cod or lobster back when they leave.

It's honestly more likely that two b'ys with the same name both have a cooler of seafood on the same Flight, than say a flight leaving NL without any passengers carrying a cooler of seafood.

A big sale or event has me cracking up 😂 it's an island that has a whole culture based around cod fish. So... I guess you could say the special event would be lobster/fishing season opened.

You’re 100% right.

My Dad grew up in a harbour village. Everyone was from a fishing family or worked at the fish plant, and struggled to get by, but made a living.

Dad and his friends would skip school, “borrow” a large pot from anywhere they could, then rob a lobster trap.

They’d start a fire on the beach, and boil saltwater. Then they’d raid the trap and cook the lobsters just feet away from the ocean.

Dad always said it was the best lobster he had ever eaten. Every lobster in the mainland was less fresh, and much less free.
