See how things can work out for you when you stay down low and keep your mouth shut? Happy as a clam.

That cartoon cracked me up, I remember it well! B.C. was one of my favorites back in the day.
One I remember was when the fat broad rearranged someone’s face. I don’t remember who it was- Clumsy, Peter, or BC…
-I couldn’t stop laughing at that one!

Can’t imagine putting my tongue on a clam that old.

According to
Merriam-Webster, "quahog" is a Native American word arising from the Narragansett name of the species:
poquaûhock.

But, what does the clam have that we don’t have? The other way around: What does the clam NOT have that we do?
A mortgage, teenage children, an a$$hole boss, a harridan wife and a live-in mother-in-law.....................

BUT, from the clam’s viewpoint...SHARKS, otters, tsunamis, polluted ocean (leftist view), rocks, humans that love clams, trawlers, etc. It’s tough all around...

All this humor is distracting. I’m just here for the science.

I would think a 200 year old clam would be pretty tough to eat. Especially if it was bearded.
