What do the sea lion and the seal lie on?

Post by GS3 »

I came across this impressive drone video of orcas swimming with a swimmer in New Zealand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTIcQMwYC1o

Then I mentioned to my wife how orcas kill seals for food and can be aggressive and dangerous and I searched for some videos of orcas killing seals and sea lions.

And I remembered a little ditty from my childhood.
What do the sea lion and the seal lie on?
I suppose the answer is "the ice" or "the beach".

And I remembered another one:
What noise annoys a noisy oyster most?
(Say it aloud, fast.) The answer to this one I do know:
A noisy noise annoys a noisy oyster most.
I searched the Internet to see if I could find the origin of these ditties and was very surprised they are not even mentioned. I am guessing they are British, from the late 19th or early 20th century. At least that old.

Well, at least now they are online. :)

I'm imagining a scenario where sea lions have clubs and when an orca gets too near, they start bashing it.

Do you think sea lions would make good snipers if they could use rifles and scopes?

I would guess it's "the seabed". It's funnier that way.

Very good! I like it!

Any noise annoys a noisy oyster but a noisy noise annoys a noisy oyster most.
