Missouri Crabs
This is due to the nature of people from Missouri, mostly from the St. Louis area. They like to snitch on coworkers or make things up about them so they don't get promoted, etc. This doesn't seem to happen in some other states.
A guy was transporting crabs from St. Louis to Kansas City, and at a inspection station the inspector saw that the crab tins had no lids on them.
Inspector "Hey I hate to tell you this, but your crab tins have no lids on them. The crabs will escape your pickup truck and get away."
Driver "Don't worry about that, these here are Missouri crabs. If one tries to crawl out, another one will pull that crab back down and into the tin."

Totally wrong
You're from here and you missed this joke.
What it meant was, people who leave the area end up missing their families and friends and ties so much that they are drawn back in. They like to bitch about it but are secretly happy to be back. That is why almost everyone here, is from here.
St. Louisans are the most straightforward and honest people I've met in the big cities I've spent significant time in. Your miserable slam against them is uncalled for. Other than you, they are also very bright.

Just saw the guy with the lantern again
looking for an honest person. :)

Almost every St. Louisan I met, besides you and a few others, haven't been straightforward or honest with me. I've had coworkers backstab me and set me up. I had an accountant rip off my small business. Don't get me started on the St. Louis drivers. I had people I loaned money to not pay me back, and they only call me when they want something. Many St. Louisans I know like to beat around the bush and it drives me crazy trying to figure out what they are trying to say. Plus the only honest and straightforward St. Louis woman I met besides some of my relatives, is my wife, with very few exceptions out there. Come on now, I recall you telling me not to believe anything your coworkers had to say about you because it was vicious lies. You know what I am talking about. Be honest here, I am, brutally honest. The truth hurts.

Re: Just saw the guy with the lantern again
This is just utter horseshit. You are a classic paranoid.

Yeah sure
everyone else in the world is 100% perfect and without flaw. So the problem must be me. Go ahead and plan my execution for the crime of being imperfect.
