When I was very little my parents travelled all around Canada with me (we visited every province and territory that existed at the time, except for the Yukon and Prince Edward Island).
We went to Halifax just after the first really warm snap of the spring had melted all the snow, and everything that had been in the snow all winter was now on the sidewalk. My mother commented on the mess, and asked me if I knew why there were poops all over the place.
Maybe she expected me to say "dogs left them and people didn't clean up", or "they were frozen in the snow all winter". But with my head full of new knowledge about Canada's east coast, I theorized that "the lobsters must have done it!"
