An elephant was drinking out of a river one day, when he spotted a turtle asleep on a log. He ambled on over and kicked it clear across the river.Yes, I've asked Paul (A.) to leave the stage.
"What on earth did you do that for?" asked a passing giraffe.
"Because I recognized it as the same accursed turtle that took a nip out of my trunk 53 years ago."
"Wow, what a memory you have!" commented the giraffe.
"Why, yes -" replied the elephant, "turtle recall".
Cheers,
Paul (A.)

I've never forgotten the turtle that bit me.
ReplyDeleteMimi, you too must leave the stage, for passing it on.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteBoo ... hiss!
ReplyDeletewhiteycat, whom are you booing and hissing? The stage is empty. We've been banished.
ReplyDeleteKnowing Paul A. is nothing if not educational and I feel we should really thank him for all he has tortoise.
ReplyDeleteCathy, you know what you must do.
ReplyDelete(In truth, I'm filled with admiration, but don't tell anyone.)
Awwww Mimi!! (blushes) The real party is quite obviously now happening off the stage anyway. It's the place to be!!
ReplyDeleteBooing and hissing Paul (A.) for even posting this!
ReplyDeleteCheers to Cathy! Now that comment is brilliant!
ReplyDeletePauvre Paul (A.). He gets the blame, and all he did was send me the email. I put the pun out there for the world to see.
ReplyDeleteCathy is right. Off stage is the place to be.
whiteycat - awwww!! (blushes again) :)
