Clam up already, you are just being shell-fish!

Now the world is your oyster.

That one’s too small. Toss ’em back. Be extra careful if you get crabs.

Take a dose of Musselman’s® Apple Sauce — mainly for internaln nutritional benefit. But rubbing it on the affected muscle area might help, too.

Just clam up and throw the net

Stop bragging you smooth talker.

that mussel looks like a shell of its former self…

Check to see if there’s a pearl…oh never mind, that’s a clam….

Next scene: Pulling a ham up on a string

The net return isn’t that great for pulled mussels.

Ba dum tssh!

Something fishy about this comic.

That’s what you get for putting steroids in the bait.

The net weight with the clam was above his limit

This is cod awful and the net worth is low.

Popeye thought this was hilarious!

Is pulled mussel anything like pulled pork?

Words to be heeded from the wise captain. The exchange reminds me of The Green Lumber Fallacy, where great fortune for one arose from their misunderstanding of terminologies.

those do NOT look like mussels in his net! mussels kind of look like clams. I can’t believe no one else noticed that!
