On The Grounds
That I'm slightly pissed I'll tell you about the "waay-haay" crabs.

I don't know what their real name is so I christened them the "waay-haay" crabs.

I was on holiday in Barbados when I discovered them. I was wandering along the beach and the tide was coming in. And I noticed a big rock, about ten meters out, that was absolutely covered in wee crabs. As the tide rose higher, teh crabs retreated (I mean crabs scared of water! Who'd a thought it?) until there was no more room at the top of the rock. And so they had to do something. Fast.

So the first little bugger sidled down the rock after a retreating wave, gathered it's little legs together and then WAY-HAAAY!!! Jumped about three feet to the next rock. Then, as if a dam had burst, all of his mates followed....

Up until then I didn't know crabs *could* jump. So, after that, I made it a point to try and catch the rising of the tide to watch the "waay-haay" crabs....

Cheers

I'm sure I'm not the only one
who was expecting that to be a story of horny crabs.

I can just see them doing that now, frolicking on the rocks.
