Question

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

Answer 1

It's a tounge twister, it's not to be taken literally.

Answer 2

haha umm she sells them for those who are afraid of water

Answer 3

Sally rinsed them off, discarded the chipped ones, and packaged them in ziploc bags to make them look like a new fad.  

She claimed her seashells were from the deepest, most pristine areas of the ocean, uncontaminated by human pollution.

She said if you buy her seashells, you will have great success in life, and they will only appreciate in value should you ever need to sell them.  

And people bought it, hook, line and sinker, and now she has extra vacation time to go to the beach, sun herself and take in the view .....   and while she's there, she'll collect and sell a few more seashells - and write it off as a business trip..  :)

Answer 4

Sally is a capitalist and an entrepeneur. if you sell it someone will buy it
