Just Like An Obese Turtle .....

[Apc2604]

......On his back waving his arms about!

Just made me laugh out loud

Remark made by one of Trumps fellow countrymen just now on ITV news. No link.

I like turtles.

Can we make him a jellyfish instead?

Mozzy, yep he could be a 'compass jellyfish' so he can find his way out of the White House! ho ho!

[Apc2604]

Thanks for the link Elliemay. I got it slightly wrong.

[Apc2604]

I like turtles too, Mozz. Shame really to liken him to such a lovely creature (but it did make me laugh).

Thats an insult to any poor obese turtle.

[agchristie]

The HMS Trump has 'turned turtle' throw out the lifeline (that will be the Supreme Court then!) He's clinging on 'oh buoy' he sez...

quite so, tiggs, as an obese turtle myself I am aggrieved.

I was really amazed at the size of a turtle when I visited the aquarium in Sarasota, Florida. They are huge. I didn't realize that.

[Ellipsis]

Even the non-obese ones ...

[Apc2604]

I never forget seeing a huge dead turtle on the beach in Tangier, obviously killed and stripped of its shell.

yeah I saw that
the context
Deserted white house ( no marines means he isnt in his office ) and a Dem commentator on Trumps latest ( the fight goes on etc )
which was taken with a pinch of sale
( he doesnt have an identifiable case and even his own lawyers cringe...)

Clarion, if youre ever down in the Keys, visit the Turtle Hospital

https://www.turtlehospital.org/

It was started by a VW salesman who retired to Florida to go fishing but got sidetracked when he found turtles injured by passing speedboats. Lovely guy.

I am not sure they have adipocytes
( A level zoo was such a long time ago)

[gness]

We laughed too, Apc.



This is worth a watch...x

and very oddly JOe Biden's dad was a not very successful car salesman

A straight jacket might help.

It was funny although an insult to turtles - who I don't think can actually get obese. This is my claim to fame re turtles, I took this lying on a lilo in the Maldives with a Gopro, it was such a beautiful experience

[10ClarionSt]

JNO, I've never been to Florida Keys. The furthest south we got to was Naples. Lovely beach but nothing else. A great experience was at Seaworld in Orlando where the young ray fish swim just below the surface and let you stroke them. They swim back and forth along your hand. If you stop and take your hand out, they shove their heads above the water at you, wanting you to keep stroking them. It's a weird experience as you can feel all the bones moving in the ray fish.

I hear Macy's have to stock elasticated shells these days...
