Why did Sally sell seashells on the seashore when you can just pick them up anyway?

Answer 1

Sally's shells are superior shells
not common or cheap
that's why sally's shells sell

Answer 2

Because they are probably special sea shells which are rare and people would be willing to buy them. This is the phrase that meowth on pokemon used to learn to talk, that was a good episode

Answer 3

bcz her seashells are unique and you can't find them on the seashore and that's why ppl would buy them.

Answer 4

it rhymes thats the only thing that rhymes if i were rewording it would be:

Sally counld'nt sell shells on the shore because the people there dint have stupid written across there face so they were smart enough to pick them up.

That don't rhyme.

Answer 5

About the same as why would sister susie sit on a thistle?

Answer 6

P.T.Barnum said,"there is a sucker born even minute." Maybe Sally was Barnum's daughter.

Answer 7

Sally promised home delivery and setup if you catch my drift.

Answer 8

She needed the money to pay the doctor after accidentally thrusting six thousand thistles through her thumb.
(Had she been able to say, "I thrust six thousand thistles through my thumb" hree times, flawlessly, the doc would have comped her.)

Answer 9

Because some people prefer to pay someone to do things instead of doing it themselves.

Answer 10

hmmm...I did not know the girl selling sea shells had a name!!
This is how I heard it..

She sells sea shells by the sea shore
How many sea shells did she sell by the sea shore?

and...she did not sell them on the sea shore..she sold them "by" the sea shore....so maybe she sold them to people who did not have access to the sea shells on the sea shore.
