A native of the Eastern Shore of Maryland got stopped by a game warden as he was leaving the bay with an ice chest full of live blue crabs and bay water.
The game warden asked the man, “Do you have a license to catch those crabs?”
“Naw, my friend, I ain’t got no license. These here are my pet crabs.”
“Pet crabs?”
“Yep. Every night I take these crabs down to the bay and let ’em swim around for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take ’em home.”
“That’s a bunch of Bull! Crabs can’t do that!”
The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, “It’s the truth. I’ll show you. It really works.”
“Okay, I’ve GOT to see this!”
The man poured the crabs into the river and stood and waited.
After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, “Well?”
“Well, what?” said the man.
“When are you going to call them back?”
“Call who back?”
“The crabs!”
“WHAT crabs?”
Folks from the Eastern Shore of Maryland may not be as smart as some, but they ain’t as dumb as many.
Aah . . . that’s better!
