The Philadelphia Zoo

We went to the Philadelphia Zoo this past Saturday. The gorillas weren't gettin' it on this time, but the Galapagos Tortoises were! I don't think that I've ever seen 500 pound tortoises gettin' puddin'. OK, I never seen any tortoises or turtles party before. I'd like to say that it was impressive, but there wasn't much going on in the movement department (...sounds like my wedding night!). It looked like some vandals pranked two statues...funny, but not exciting. So, I checked out the hippos, the okapi, and the elephants. I looked back and he was still inspecting her shell. I guess if you live for 150 years, what's the rush?

Anyway. The crowd was pretty excited to see this event. And that's when I overheard this gem:

"Daddy? What are they doing?"
"They're going to the bathroom. Come on, let's look at the hippos."

Good job jackass. Sex doesn't exist.

When we were looking at the ring-tailed lemurs, a woman walked up and asked if they were raccoons. I must be a magnet for stupid.

In the how-the-fuck-do-you-wipe-your-ass department: We saw a woman with six-inch fingers nails. They looked just like they do in the Guinness Book of World Records, curled, brownish-yellow, and disgusting.

  3. Did you hear the one about the snail that was mugged by a turtle? The cop asked the snail for a description of the turtle, and the snail said: I didn't see a thing. It all happened too fast.

  4. "Mommy" is about 70 years old and who knows how old "Mopey" is. No wonder they're fumbling around. If I were that old, I'd probably think I was a Volkswagen.

  5. The Galapagos tortoise's eyesight is extremely poor, so much so that the males will try to mate with almost anything resembling a female, even a large rock.

  6. So, it might not have been a female he was attempting to mount. Oklahoma!

    Oh yeah, today, Sailer distracted me, and so I turned and walked straight into a wall, just like Maria M. once did with that conference room window.
