I couldn't help it - I got such a kick out of this riddle I discovered while walking the famed Bluff Walk on Nantucket Island I had to share it. (Answer below.)
In many communities, you'll find colorfully painted rocks left by the roadside, ready to surprise and delight passersby. In shoreline communities you'll find colorfully decorated shells. This Nantucket artist treated us to a chuckle in addition to a rainbow of shells trailside. Was it the work of a neighbor, a scout troop, a local dad/comedian? Who knows, but it was a refreshing bit of local color and whimsy on a hot day.
I didn't turn over all the shells, so I don't know what the answers to these pun-derful jokes might be. Care to guess? You can leave your answer (or your own dad joke) in the comments.
