Operation Turtle Rescue

Objective: Rescue Turtle from the middle of the street so it make the morning edition of Road Kill

M.O. / Tactics: Grab a firm hold of said Turtle with both hands and place turtle in trunk of car (reason being there was no body of water close, and I do reside lakefront)

As you can see, Turtle occupies on third of my trunk space -mighty grand turtle to find wandering the streets if you ask me. [Exhibit A]

All missions of course, has it's repercussions. Case in point: Turtle likes breasts too, as he attempted to get a big snip off me. Intensive training of course yielded my keen and immediate reflexes, so all Turtle got was my shirt and bra. My left breast has been spared. [See Exhibit B below]

Turtle takes his best shot

Never in my life had I see any turtle run so fast. As I set my camera in order to take pictures to catalog the success of this mission, and Turtle's return to a safe haven, Turtle ran away, diving deep underneath the calm waters of Lake Waterford Chase. How fast can a turtle run? Pretty darn fast, since all I was able to take of Turtle's release was his speedy hind and a graceful wave goodbye. [See Exhibit C, below]

Debriefing: Mission was a success. Turtle now resides happily in a fitting habitat.

End report.

All in a days work.

Given the nature of it's actions, I'm guessing this was a male turtle ... ;)

*snicker* Hooray! That was a big sucker. The one time I saved one from certain doom, I got a big scratch down my arm for my troubles. He just got carried to the side of the road, though -- Disney lakes tend to have gators in them.

a) That turtle was humongous. Maybe it was a Mutant.

b) I thought turtles were supposed to be slow!

c) You're funny.
