Look, we know why you are here. You have a photo of a shell you found on vacation, and you need a caption that proves you are funny to people you barely know on the internet.

The Shell-shocking Questions
You have questions about shells. We have answers that are technically correct but mostly sarcastic.
Why can you hear the ocean in a shell?
You can’t. You are hearing the blood rushing in your own ear and the ambient noise of the room reflecting back at you. Basically, you are listening to your own head.
Do seashells grow?
The shell itself is dead material, like your fingernails or your hopes and dreams. The animal inside grows and adds more layers to the edge.
Can I take seashells from the beach?
Usually yes, but check the local laws. Also, check if someone is living in it. Evicting a hermit crab is bad karma.
What is the rarest seashell?
The Conus Gloriamaris used to be worth thousands. Now you can buy one for cheap. It’s the Beanie Baby of the ocean world.
Why are shells different colors?
It depends on what the mollusk eats. If they eat boring food, they get boring shells. It’s a literal representation of “you are what you eat.”
Are seashells money?
They used to be. Cowrie shells were used as currency in many ancient cultures. Try paying your rent with them today and see what happens.
The Person To Blame
Umer | Chief Regret Officer
Umer is the founder of PunSpill and a certified disappointment to his high school guidance counselor. He spends his days writing puns that make people groan and his nights arguing with Gerald, his emotional support opossum (and Head of HR).
He created this website because his friends muted him in the group chat. If you hated this article, please direct your complaints to the opossum; he handles the shredding.
I'm Umer. He's Gerald. I write the bad jokes; he handles the complaints (by sleeping). We created PunSpill so you have something to send your friends to annoy them. Read the full confession here.
