Imagine the scene.





Fred was a big man and of the old school of diving. His idea of a gentle
first sea dive was to drag the poor trainee down to 30mtr with no
visibility, wait till they had nearly ran out of air, surface and throw them
back into the boat. If they came back for a second dive then as Fred would
say "they'll do alright".

Fred loved Seafood and he especially loved crabs. He had a very unique way
of catching crabs that made everyone in his presence shiver with fear. When
he spotted one he would head straight for it and grab it. If the crab was
faster and got to safety first, that was no problem. He would stuff his
hand, arm and sometimes whole body into whatever hole the thing sought
sanctuary to just grab it. His policy was simple. "If the crab has me then I
have it". It was a successful policy if a painful one. One very big crab was
Fred's pride and joy. He showed it to everyone during the evening social
camp fire. He was so proud of the size of it he started showing off and
started to carry the crab on his shoulders like a trophy. The crab had other
ideas though and took a dislike to Fred for doing this for some reason.
Whilst on Fred's shoulders, it bit down with both claws one on each side of
his neck. It was very humbling to watch this very mighty man felled by this
tiny creature.

They say revenge is a dish best served cold (especially with Thousand Island
dressing).
