Soap and Water
Siegfried’s (right) girl dumped him, citing personal hygiene (or lack of it) as the reason. Just swimming isn’t enough, she said, a little soap and scrubbing were needed . . .
Prejudice
Quinton had a hard time believing his father was that prejudiced–when he told them about his new friends, all his father could day was, “Cold blooded reptiles, with shells so heavy they could never fly; what are you thinking, boy?”
Post Turtle
For about the fifth time in as many months, Kenny (pictured) had seen on his I-pad the email going around with the old rancher saying, “Some of them politicians in high elected office in Washington are like post turtles; it just ain’t right, and they just shouldn’t be there.” Kenny agreed that those West Texas desert ranchers may be right about that in the dry country, since there’s no turtles there anyway, but here where the Corps of Engineers had re-engineered the bayou and the post was just barely out of the water, a turtle being on that post didn’t seem all that strange or out of place. . . . .
