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.

The puns are terrifically and terribly excellent, just as puns should be. That’s rather a sad ending, though.

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!) 🙂
