It's been said that if you catch a bunch of crabs you can put them in a bucket and you don't have to put a lid on it - and they won't get out. They won't get out because as one crabs tries to crawl out - another will try to get out as well but end up pulling down the first crab back into the bucket in the process. Thus the more they try to leave, the more they end up pulling each other back in.
Seems there are many applications of this theory in real life as well.

Yes, I've heard that it's hard to get rid of crabs.
I think this is where the crab cheer started: "push em back, push em back .......waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy baaaaaaaaaaack!"
But I could be wrong.....someone needs to check wikipedia.org
