Honesty may be the best policy, but it's important to remember that apparently, by elimination, dishonesty is the second-best policy.

Old Fools Journal: Turtle Soup

These are some of the smartest beings I know. Not smart enough to know that they could be tomorrows soup but smart enough to know someone is in the room and if they knock on the glass they might get a tidbit.

They don't work but they do play. When they play they rearrange the furniture in their soup stock.

They have a TV in view but I have never seen them watch it. I value their "not said" remarks more than anyone I have seen on TV. Besides I understand that they have a brain about the size of a pencil lead which is bigger than most anyone on TV.

They never answer any of my remarks when I talk to them but they seem to pay attention and knock on the glass but I think it is for tidbits.

They belong to no one but they have several humans that serve them and tend their every need.

Hmmm. Turtle soup is very good.

I am the only advocate in the "Free the Turtles" movement here.
