WHEN THE TORTOISE LOST
I'm not especially fond of the zoo. I look at it as a jail for the animals,especially the big animals. Elephants chained to a post. Seals swimming in a pond. Lions roaming their pen. No wonder it's a tough time getting these once giants of the planet to fornicate. They're depressed being locked up in Alcatraz for the animals.
A long time ago my kids wanted to go to the zoo. I took the brood and let them walk around. I told them to meet me in front of the tortoises. I don't know why I picked the tortoises,but there was my butt parked on a bench with a bag of popcorn in one hand and a soda in the other.
I was perusing these land tanks when I got to thinkin' that someone told me they live to be over a hundred years. One guy in there was a monster. He had to be 200. I'm watching this guy when all of a sudden he lifts himself up slowly and begins to walk on his tiny legs. Like everything was in slow motion. I see he's headed towards another tortoise on the other side of the living quarters. This big monster is moving slowly but steadily.
After a half hour he makes it over to this other tortoise. Then to my surprise he begins to climb up this other tortoise from behind. He's gonna' bang her! Slowly his thing comes out shaped like a boomerang. Just when he's about to make baby tortoises this zookeeper walks out and lifts the big guy and takes him back over to where he began.
The wife and kids come over right after this little episode and ask me for more money so they can ride on the Sky Lift. See,I told you the zoo was a drag.
