  1. Turtle dick used to be an insult.

    The most interesting turtle man in the world.
    He can bring an entire species back from extinction by himself.

    And when he drinks beer it’s Tres Equis.

  2. p.s. My sister had a really, really dumb tortoise that really, really loved a rock in his outdoor space.

    The tortoise my sister and I had as kids was a celibate who honored his state in life. He didn’t even attack rocks.

  3. Just how do tortoises copulate?

    First the male tortoise takes the female to a nice restaurant.
    Then maybe a movie or a show.
    A few drinks at the club.
    And, if he’s lucky, and she’s not too tired ….
