where do the turtles think the carrots come from?

[sgt.null]

at work I throw carrots over the fence to the many, many turtles living in the creek.

as they can't see me, I wondered today - where do the turtles think the carrots come from?

Maybe they think it's rain. Sometimes water falls from the sky, sometimes it's ice. On a good day it's carrots.

That the carrots evolved by random chance+infinite time.

Or that because they're very good turtles, each carrot is a reward that accrues points to a leveling-up. Soon, they'll be crocodiles.

Or maybe it's that crazy dude on the other side of the wall who thinks he's messing with them.

I don't know why but this is my favorite post so far this year.
And.......I didn't know turtles ate carrots.

Should this thread be in the Close?

It has so much potential as allegory...

ACK!! I hadn't thought of that!
Turtles are freaking out cuz they're being invaded by Flying Carrots!
Time to bring in the SEA[turt]L's and run a black op across that fence.

Nice try, Icarus, but I ain't sacrificing this thread to the Close.

first - thank you.

second - turtles love all sorts of fruits and veggies.

the seagulls like hard boiled eggs and bread.

Bah...seagulls like everything except other seagulls trying to snatch their stuff.

Hmm so if I like both I guess I'm a flying turtle or a shelled gull...

"Fool! To allow a seagull a carrot is like lending the turtle wings!" I'll have to work more on that one later...

I'm gonna be inappropriately serious here (as usual) and say they probably don't bother thinking about it.

My husband comes in and points out to me that tortoises, on the other hand, would possibly be on to something.
I know this man is really smart, takes the things he says seriously, knows more about tortoises than I do, but I know I don't quite see it for myself... don't quite believe, if you know what I mean.

what seagulls are really saying

[mrsnull]

Do you get paid to feed turtles?

[aliantha]

The turtles probably appreciate the food more than the inmates do.

well they certainly don't bitch as much.

and Mrs.Null, shall we discuss workdays?

[mrsnull]

No Sgt.Null, we shall not.

Maybe the turtles know all the turtles we have saved since living in Texas?

[sgt.null]

I just hope someone feeds them on my days off. and I would like to think that the turtles we save retain some dim memory of us.
