I got Fleas!

[Grumpy]

A friend who frequents this baord called me and reminded me that most Americans think of crabs as being sexually transmitted (if that is the right word) but those of us that have been overseas, especially in the Orient and South East Asia, know that crabs get on you in many places and from many sources, only one of which may be sexual. Crabs were so prevalent on Okinawa that, when I was there in the late '50s, they used to issue cans of spray DDT in the Supplyroom, even to the married people living in family quarters. All the showers in the barracks had cans of DDT handy for use before showering.

Whether you believe it or not, I really wasn't making a sexual inference in the post.
