Northern Alberta Lobster Festival was supposed to be a big deal. One hundred live lobsters with 145 pounds of the delectable meat were going to arrive by plane.

But Air Canada f*cked up. At the day of the festival, Air Canada's cargo-tracking system indicated the lobster shipment had arrived at the airport at 4 p.m. But when the festival organizers reached the customer service desk, they were told the shipment can't be found.

"We had people come from all over Alberta, and unfortunately the lobster weren't among the attendees.", but they did have a festival. They ate meat but it was...

...hot dogs. "It was a very disappointing event. We ate hot dogs at a lobster fest.". But the lobsters did turn up... in Toronto. And before they arrived to their destination the festival was over. Who got to eat lobsters? No the distinguished guests but people who volunteered to clean up after the festival.

Air Canada did apologize saying "very bad weather" was to blame for the delays. They gave the money for transit back and said "next year your lobsters travel for free" but the organizers said "Next year we will probably make a hot dog festival. It will be less problematic that way.". Either way you can now say hot dogs are land lobsters.
