Magic Shake-Ball


Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

Is there such as thing as "too many" fried clams?

Sincerely,
Goy-Girl in Paradise

Answer:

Sharp misery had worn him to the bones:
And in his needy shop a tortoise hung,
An alligator stuffed and other skins
Of ill-shaped fishes.

(Romeo and Juliet 5.1.41-44)

Interpretation:

Thanks for the visual, Shake-Ball. I don't think I'll be running to eat any more seafood after picturing these nasty items. Plus, given that this is the place Romeo bought his poison, I'm not getting a good feeling about my next trip to The Breeze.
