A leatherback turtle for a leathered interior mercedes? Sounds like a good deal to me...

[Sabu The Coconut Boy]

"When you have a fish this old, this heavy, that has lived in zero gravity its whole life, it just won't tolerate a lot of handling."

The exact same reason my wife won't give me sex.

Sabu

[Sabu The Coconut Boy]

Oops. Wrong giant aquatic creature.

[Marvin]

Almost the right thread, Sabu. Good try...

[Marvin]

"Xhemali said he was immediately approached by an Italian fish trader"

Why are there Italian fish traders lurking near the shores of Albanian seas?

[Sabu The Coconut Boy]

"..reconsidered when offered a "nearly new" Mercedes"

The exact same reason my wife gave me sex last night.

I think the real reason he gave up the turtle was simply because he likes enraging biologists.

I know I do...

[Mahatma Kane Jeeves]

Why didn't he just take it to the local Sea Turtle-Mercedes Exchange Bank? You give them a turtle, they give you a Mercedes. And vice-versa.

[Master Chief]

Woo-hoo, a shout out! Thanks, judi.

Anyway, I thought about this a little more and I think I'd rather have the car, too, really. I mean, what would anyone even do with a 1-ton turtle? Drive to work? Teach it to fly? Hunt for large rabbits to race against, and win?

[queensbee]

gives whole new meaning to E-BAY, bwaahaa. actually, look on a map, you'll see where albany....wait. oh, albania. i live in albany. i thought, well never mind.

that would explain "Hysni Xhemali" the vowel-challenged name mentioned.

[Aunt Nancy]

I wonder if this is the same turtle that hides under a bridge in the Florida Keys and attacks scuba divers...

[jamester]

What am I offered for my son's African Frog?
Anybody?

[D'Artagnan]

An endangered leatherback turtle ought to get you at least a diesel. Anything 1995 or newer requires a live sixth-grader-sized catfish. You want A/C and new tires, forget it, man, it's Paris Hilton.

[insomniac]

Except as a deal 'tween friendses
You shouldn't trade tutrles for Benzes
And, no, it's not legal
To swap a bald eagle
For the latest new clothes from Lands Endses!

[Sabu The Coconut Boy]

Nice one, Insomniac.

Mind if I try too?

"If you're fishing for cod in Tirana,
And you swear you just hooked a piano,
Don't throw it back
That's a rare Leatherback!
Trade it in for an S-Class Sedan-a"

Sabu

[Master Chief]

Haikus vs. Lymrics . . ?

What's that turtle worth,
So unique and gigantic?
Will this used Benz do?

[Sabu The Cocononut Boy]

That's awesome, Chief!

I am at complete serenity now.

[Master Chief]

...Except that last line should probalby 'use the force' a little more, and be like "This used Benz WILL do." ;-)

"Dermochelys coriacea" is what you get when you swim in Butrint and can be successfully treated by penicillin.

Those crazy Greeks...

[good grief!]

the turtle Eats Jellyfish!!
put em baack
put em baack.
