Yeah, it makes him feel crabby all day.

The wabbit gave me the cwaaaabss!!!

A tension headache annnd dinner.

Let’s talk about your mother.

Still sticking his head under water, for extended periods of time.

Will Peter tell him he has a crab on his head?

He’s feeling a bit crabby…..

Dr. Peter: “How often do you suffer from headaches?” Clumsy: “Every time I get a headache, I suffer.”

‘Put a pot of water on to boil, then dip your head into it for a few minutes. You can eat your tension headache afterwards, with a bit of butter!’

Well, after yesterday’s flying fish, you shoulda expected flying crabs too.

Vulcan mind pinch?

Every day? Well then, you’re insane according to that definition that says it’s doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results!

It’s all that SAND. . .everywhere. . .

Well stop being so crabby about it !

Nope. You came home with crabs. There’s a cream for that.

Quick, boil some water up!

He needs to find crabs with less torque.

How can I trust a doctor who’s shingle is a toombstone?

Removing the lobster from your head will cure your headache. Now that will cost 5 clams and one lobster dinner.

Humans evolved fatter heads to keep the crabs from pinching them

How much are you shelling out for this “therapy”?

It feels like a vice gripping my head…

“You shouldn’t self-diagnose. That’s not a tension headache. It’s a compression headache.”

Attention headache?

Do tell…..

More like compression than tension.

Looks more like a compression headache. :)

He needs mirror, not a shrink.

Just dip the top of your head in a pot of boiling water.

Here are the basic parts of a lobster and their function:

Abdomen — the section commonly referred to as the “tail”.

Antennae — tactile organs, having a sense of touch.

Antennules — chemosensors, having a sense of smell – with a function similar to a human nose.

Carapace — the outer shell of the cephalothrax

Cephalothorax — contains the head and thorax sections — together they are commonly called the “body”

Chelipod (crusher claw) — the larger of the claws, with a rounded surface suitable for crushing prey such as shellfish.

Chelipod (ripper or pincher claw) — the smaller of the claws, which is more pointed and sharp, is used for tearing food apart.

Eye — compound eyes provide sense of sight

Mandible — jaw-like structure for crushing and ingesting food

Maxillipeds — the mouth parts of the lobster, flat platelike parts used to pass food to the mandible

Pereiopods (walking legs) — The two sets of walking legs immediately behind the claws are also used for catching and eating food and have many “taste” sensors; the last two sets of legs are used primarily for walking.

Pleopods — commonly known as “swimmerets”. with tiny hairs. In females the hairs are somewhat longer and are the attachment point for eggs.

Telson — the central tail fin

Uropods — the outer pairs of tail fins

(To be concluded)

(Conclusion)

“Lobsters and crabs both belong to shellfish a subphylum known as Crustacea, making them crustaceans, or animals with an exoskeleton that molts occasionally for the animal to get bigger. Like most crustaceans, these two live in aquatic environments. To break them down even further, their order is Decapoda, making them decapods. A decapod crustacean has multiple appendages that attach to their body segments.

“Crabs have rounder bodies than lobsters with several long legs that extend out from their shell-like exterior. They have one pair of claws at the front of their bodies. Crabs come in a variety of colors, sizes, and even shapes, but you can almost always tell that it’s a crab just by its looks. Contrary to popular belief, many animals with “crab” in their names aren’t true crabs, like the hermit crab, porcelain crab, and horseshoe crab.

“A lobster has a longer, narrower body than a crab, and its legs don’t usually appear as long and extended, although they often are. A lobster’s claws can be massive, sometimes looking almost as big as the lobster itself. Lobsters can also come in many sizes and colors, but they generally have a very distinct shape.

“Another difference that’s easy to spot immediately when you observe crabs and lobsters is the way they walk. Lobsters walk forward and backward, but crabs usually walk sideways.”

Never trust a woman who comes home with crabs.
