Bonjour!

This one is open to all* fully-paid up** members of the Postal History Boutique.

There is a prize*** for the best answer received before 15 April to this question:

"What should I do with 265 New England Neptunes, 315 Lightening Whelks, 240 Calico Sacllops, 285 Frilled Dogwinkles and 286 Reticulated helmets?"

Regards, Val

 

* 'All' members -- except for those living in Thessaloniki

** We accept all major credit cards and bones. If you are not yet a paid up member, please send your subscription and/or bones to the Boutique's Honorary Treasurer, Snooky

*** The prize has yet to be determined. It will probably be linked to the New England Neptunes, Lightening Whelks, etc

Sally sells seashells by the seashore.  
The shells Sally sells are surely from the sea.

Pretty good, Naomi, pretty good! I need to wait and see if anyone else is going to rely before announcing a winner. Incidentally, the British version of this tonguetwister replaces 'Sally' with 'She'...'She sells seashells...' I think that twists the tongue even more. Regards, Val

The Postal History Boutiques Competition Panel of Judges has DISQUALIFIED Angie & Snooky's entry on the ground that it is a pile of...er, seashells.

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

I am not elligible for this competition (and I certainly need not win any of these).

Please be sure not to mix up the Neptunes with the Doggie bones, er, I mean the Dogwinkles!

[Katerina Nikoltsou (MomKat)]

The lower stamp is always talking out of the side of its mouth...it's a "Doggie" ;-)

And Angie should not be disqualified yet...it was all Snooky's fault!

 

...SHE sells sea shells by the seashore and

how much shells can she sell if a woodchuck could chuck-chuck,

if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Will the usher sew us to our sheets?

Depending on where you collect them, either a sea food salad or start a food poisoning epidemic

Not bad mon ami, pas bon. You're on the short list prize (neither the Booker nor the Orange prize, but the Scallop prize); Regards, Val
