It's a little-known fact that lobsters, being the most fashionable of crustaceans, refuse to celebrate birthdays.

This is because, let's be real, they've been shell-abashed with their lives.

But seriously, lobsters have a natural lifespan of around 50 years in the wild. That's a whole lotta shell-ebrations!

So, if you're looking for a good excuse to get out of a party, just tell 'em you're a lobster.

Or, you know, just be a real shellfish and go anyway.
