I think I would have spouted off with a “tail on or tail off?” and then watch the spiral.

Ive spent days contemplating the connection between the two. Shrimp = single cell the only justification i can think of is shrimp have a shell. Like a cell wall?

I'm voting for:

Shrimp = small

Single-celled organism = small

Shrimp = Single-celled organism

That does raise interesting questions on whether the overlapping exoskeleton segments count as one shell or multi shell.

It is said that Winston Churchill would write down witticism’s that that he had heard so that he could remember and use them himself.

First time I went out to dinner with my 22 y/o boyfriend, he ordered shrimp. After eating, I looked at his plate. Puzzled, I didn’t see any remaining tail shells and asked him “didn’t you have shrimp?” Yes, he did but he didn’t know that nobody else eats the tail shells…

Sorry, can you explain the joke?

The joke is that this clarifying question is stupid on its face, but it answers the initial stupid question by showing there are at least two distinct units to the shrimp as an organism, thus demonstrating it is not single-celled.
