Strung Out
A man was selling crabs on the side of the road near Solomons late one March, and DNR happened along.
DNR guy pulls over, walks up and says "You know the season doesn't start until April first, right?
"Naw, they ain't for eatin'. They're pets crabs! I had 'em since last season!"
"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. Now, they're ready to sell. As pets!"
"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!"
DNR follows the guy down to the boat ramp, they get out, DNR helps him with the chest over to the waters edge and 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?"
