"Why do you walk in such a crooked way, my child?" said an old crab to her son, "You must learn to walk straight."
"Show me the way, mother," replied the young crab, "And when I see you taking a straight path, I will try to follow."
from Aesop's fables

speaking of crabs.....

There was once a lady crab who saw a gentleman crab at night. She noticed that he didn't walk sideways like other crabs but instead, he walked straight. She thought he was unlike all the other crabs that she had known. Since she didn't want to let this one get away, she married him. The next morning, she was dismayed to find her husband walking sideways like the others.
"Honey," she said, "Why don't you walk straight anymore?"
Her husband replied, "I can't get that drunk every night."
