Shouldn’t that be “declaimed”, and not “disclaimed”?

I guess my posts could sometimes be declammed when I’ve cited too many shellfish.

Dave!

Clams got legs! Unfortunately, your disclaimed/declaimed/declammed non-sequitor doesn’t.

Looks like mollusc has run out.

Actually, when I first read your post, I saw “declaimed” as “declammed,” so the non-sequitur was borne of a misreading of your sequitur.

Dave!

I figured as much, which is why I juxtaposed the three of them together so the full irony would be apparent.

Of course, if ya gotta explain a joke....

Doh! Next time, try juxtaposing the three of them apart. Maybe I’ll get it, then.


Dave!
