Michelle was a conchologist. That’s a shell collector by the way!
She was also a concholojest, known for telling awful puns.…
‘Why do mermaids wear seashells? Because B shells are too small’.
‘What do clams do on their birthday? They shellabrate’.
When she told me she’d joined a gym, I said was good for her mussels, you should have heard her laugh!
I’m sure she’d like to know we still laugh with her. Having a shellfish allergy, she should have known better than to eat that scallop. Such a shame, for in her own words, the world was her oyster.

Tragic end, yet hilarious story
A bit of each! Thanks, Sadje.
You’re welcome
Quite unforgivable puns
Sorry about that! Talking of which, my mate was run over by a boat in Venice. I sent my gondolences.
You are so punny!
Pank you Patricia!
Dear Keith,
Such an “aw shucks” ending for a punny story. I’ll clam up now for I have a call coming in on my shell phone. 😉
Shell-om,
Ro-Shell
Haha, now I’ve got you started! Shell done, Ro-shell!
LOL ….”Mermaids wearing seashells”…hilarious. Thanks for the morning laugh Keith.
Perfectly proportioned! Thanks so much, Suzette.
So fun!
I’m pleased you liked it, Beth.
Good greef , the poor sole, I feel sorry for Meshell. Such is the pearl of seafood. I loved the puns great piece.
Perfectly put, thanks so much, James.
Smiled a lot reading that.
And I’m smiling at your response, thanks, Danny.
This was a fabulous read, Keith! And you’ve taught me a new word😊
I thought the must be a word for it, and thanks to Google I too learned a new word!
Yay Google! Though we mustn’t trust it for everything, right?😉
Keith, your story was cute every which-way. Thank you for my weekly chuckle. This one had a nice wistful bit at the end also.
Thanks so much for your kind words, Lisa!
You’re very welcome, Keith.
I will miss Michelle’s laughter over her mussels
Me too Michael!
The puns are terrifically and terribly excellent, just as puns should be. That’s rather a sad ending, though.
I like that description, Mimi! Thank you!
The rolling humor of Keith’s story telling. Well cone, Sir K!
I like that, thank you so much, Bill.
Keith, you really are amazing!
That’s so kind of you Linda, thank you.
Clever and cute, Keith.
Fun … Have a good weekend … Isadora 😎
Thanks so much, Isadora.
I loved it.
I’m really pleased, thank you.
Ha she must be a relative of yours but I’m glad you’re not shellfish in spreading the joy. By the way, I was talking o a crab the other and I asked “What’s your name and what’s that on your back?” she replied Michelle (which is probably why you chose the name!) 🙂
Thanks for adding to the fun, I called a crab on his shell phone the other day, “Shello” he said!
Boom boom! as Basil 🦊 would say 😂
This is cute! Puns are always good, even when they’re bad lol
Today’s pearls of wisdom: Never eat food you are allergic too.
Hilarious!
Good one! Chuckles. Glad to be back, and glad to see you’re still filling the screens.
