How can you tell when a clam is happy?
Any other sayings which make absolutely no sense?

| 5. I was pondering one last night |
|
"Scared the bejesus out of me." What the hell is a "bejesus"? And where did it originate?
My mom used to say when she didn't really know someone that she "didn't know them from a bale of hay." Always made me laugh. I got a mental picture of some guy and a bale of hay standing side by side and my mom scratching her head trying to figure out which was which.

| 10. lol! Makes more sense now! |
|
All I could think of was them sort of sitting there, filtering microscopic clam food (or whatever they "eat").
If I was in a rock band, I'd name it "The Carnivorous Clams." :evilgrin:
