AR Husker Fan Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 The day after his wife disappeared in a boating accident, an Ocean City man answered his door to find two grim-faced Maryland State Troopers. "We're sorry Mr. Rice, but we have some information about your wife," said one trooper. "Tell me! Did you find her?" Rice shouted. The officers replied, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news. Which do you want to hear first?" Fearing the worst, ashen Rice said, "Give me the bad news first." The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the Assawoman Bay near the Rte 90Bridge. "Oh my God!" exclaimed Rice. Swallowing hard, he asked, "What's the good news?" The trooper continued. "When we pulled her up she had 12 huge blue crabs and another 6 good-size blue crabs on her." Stunned, Mr. Rice demanded, "If that's the good news, what's the great news? The trooper said, "We're going to pull her up again tomorrow.” Quote Link to comment

Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yea, I've found myself thinking I'd like to do that, while watching the show. Then I think... I really don't want to have a rope wrap around my leg and drag me over the side of the boat and the pot taking me to a watery grave. Quote Link to comment

On top of raking in millions for crabs. That's why it's so tempting to try it!!!! Maybe you work your ass of 2 or 3 weeks. You make $40,000+ in those 2 or 3 weeks and that almost makes it worth it!!!! Quote Link to comment
husker rob Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 actually they only get paid based on the catch. if they go out and get skunked then they dont make any money. however if the have a monster haul then they can rake in enough money to not have to worry about working for a few months Quote Link to comment
