break the seal

Certain species of Seal are naturally resistant to training by humans. This is due to their wild, savage nature. However, with some patience and a steady supply of fresh fish, most seals *can* be trained. A human seal trainer is said to have "broken the seal" when the Seal correctly fetches a chilled beverage, such as a Moslon Golden or perhaps a delicious Molson Dry from the polar ice, in exchange for a handful of anchovies. Anchovies are delicious.
