I just came back from the Post Office.
In the window was a hand written notice that read ...
"Missing. Tortoise. Reward offered for return"
HOW THE HELL CAN A TORTOISE ESCAPE?!!!!!
That HAS to be someone's idea of a joke and at 50p per week to have the card there, it's a cheap one too!

As this thread is bound for certain derailment, the sheriff had a sign reading "no illegal contraband beyond this point". I asked what is legal contraband?

Well seeing as how they are naturally a slow moving creature, I could see how it would like some acceleration and I'm afraid the America would still have it wanting more.

My tortoise escaped when the gardner left the gate open. Got a call from a neighbor who asked me to come get my turtle because it was chasing his dog.

Nah, if the Americas acceleration doesn't stimulate you, probably numb from the neck up anyway...
