Happy as a Clam

Beni received the following cookied fortune tonight after our dinner at a Thai restaurant.

Come to think of it, this “mistake” can be easily explained: As inferred from the idiom, clams are happy beings. The unfortunate fortune scribe, unfamiliar with such language conventions, believed “clam” to be synonymous with “happy.” Although pad thai has been crowned the national dish of Thailand, the happiness and impartiality combo remains the dietary staple of the Thai workplace.
