Clams got ants!

Watched short vid today of someone opening live oysters and removing the pearls. The accompanying text showed the values. $220 up to almost $600. Colors were interesting too. One was yellow-orange and another was pink.

If that was a an oyster, the ant would become the heart of a pearl instead of dinner.

That got it to clam pretty quickly.

“Cause I’m the Tax Clam! Yeah, I’m the Tax Clam!” (apologies to the Beatles)

That’s what happens to clam jumpers.

The tax clam cometh?

One, two, three, four

One, two (one, two, three, four)

Let me tell you how it will be

There’s one for you, nineteen for me

‘Cause I’m the taxclam

Yeah, I’m the taxclam

Should five percent appear too small

Be thankful I don’t take it all

‘Cause I’m the taxclam

Yeah, I’m the taxclam

I’ll tax the street

(If you try to sit, sit) I’ll tax your seat

(If you get too cold, cold) I’ll tax the heat

(If you take a walk, walk) I’ll tax your feet

(Taxclam)

‘Cause I’m the taxclam

Yeah, I’m the taxclam

Don’t ask me what I want it for

(Ah, ah, Mr. Wilson)

If you don’t want to pay some more

(Ah, ah, Mr. Heath)

‘Cause I’m the taxclam

Yeah, I’m the taxclam

Now my advice for those who die (taxclam)

Declare the pennies on your eyes (taxclam)

‘Cause I’m the taxclam

Yeah, I’m the taxclam

And you’re working for no one but me (taxclam)

Clam Scam Slam!

Your tax clams at work!

It’s an attacks clam.

That one was crossed with a Venus Flytrap
