It's entirely possible they still do, but I can confirm in the early 90's they sold T-shirts that said "I got crabs from Dirty Dicks."

Yep. Venereal parasite-themed seafood restaurants are what makes America special.

The question is: who stole that from whom? There are a lot of crab joints with that or similar marketing. Joe's Crab Shack asks "Got Crabs?" on the front, then lets you know "We Do" on the back. Tracy's King Crab Shack has a shirt that says "Tracy gave me crabs". It seems like a lot of seafood restaurants with crab in their name are itching to get you inside with their marketing.

That's a question worth a google search but I have no idea how to phrase it.

"Who gave me crabs first?"
