* 54. A talented shrimp rehearses for many weeks putting together an evening of Gershwin, Sondheim, and other showtunes. She then goes looking for the right venue to perform.
First she tries the skeleton of a whale, but it’s too big, and the acoustics are poor. Then she tries an abandoned turtle shell, but that’s too dark and echoey. Finally, she comes upon a small, overturned, concave cap. She steps onto it, starts practicing, and immediately feels at home.
Suddenly, a crustacean hurries over and yells, “Hey, what are you doing in my hat?”
“Hat?” says the shrimp. “I thought it was a nightclub!”
“What?” comes the reply. “Can’t you tell the difference between a nightclub and a Crab Beret?”
