The Smoking Crab

I was going through my collection of interesting pictures the other day and I came across one of my old favorites; The Smoking Crab. I snapped this picture while my family and I were attending a combo crab feast and pool party a few years ago. It appeared that this clever little devil had the idea that he could escape the hammer, pick, and pliers by trying to convince the crowd of crab feasters that he was a crustacean cancer candidate and, therefore, not fit for human consumption. Alas, the poor, delusional critter had not counted of the fact that most feasters of crabs tend also to consume vast quantities of the beguiling Barley brew, causing most cautions to be cast to the proverbial wind. In other words, when drunk enough, some people will eat almost anything.

Thus, in short order, the hapless little fellow was pounded, picked, plied, and consumed before the unlucky chap could even finish the ritual, "last cigarette."
