Joke: Tortoise picnic
22nd June 2009
Three tortoises named Terry, Shaun and Samson decide to head out for a picnic 10 miles from where they live.
It takes 6 days to get there and, when they arrive, they realise that they forgot the bottle opener.
Terry and Shaun ask Samson to go back for it.
Samson says, "No chance! By the time I get back you’ll have eaten all the sandwiches."
Terry and Shaun promise not to eat them and, eventually, Samson agrees to go.
10 days passed, but Samson still hadn’t returned. Terry and Shaun are really hungry by this time, but keep their promise not to eat the sandwiches.
17 days pass and there’s still no sign of Samson. Terry and Shaun are starving by now, but manage to keep their promise not to eat the sandwiches
25 days pass and Terry and Shaun are so hungry they realise that if they don’t eat the sandwiches they will starve to death. They discuss between themselves what they should do and decide they have no choice but to eat them.
Just as they reach for the sandwiches, Samson jumps out from behind a tree and shouts, "I knew you couldn’t be trusted! I’m definitely not going now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
I love this one!
