Why clams?

[alicetries]

There's that saying, "As happy as a clam..."

Why clams? Why are clams happy? What makes them so happy? And what is it about thier happiness that seperates them from any other animals with an external calcareous shell or any other species with or without a protective framework?

because everyone loves clam chowder, so they have something to be proud of. unlike corn, which also goes in chowder but leaves nasty morning-after effects in your poop =)
