There's nothing like looking into a Pennsylvanian stream and spotting a discarded rubber glove (inflated & tied off at the wrist) and spluttering about vandals who desecrate beautiful sylvan countrysides and then getting closer and finding it's a Pennsylvania turtle floating in the stream taking in the day at his leisure.
[And, yes, he is alive. He is keeping himself in place by gently waving alternate front legs.]

Turtle soup!
Delicious!
He's lucky because I don't like turtle soup.
At least you didn't see a dead body floating down stream.
I think all the dead bodies are in streams in New Jersey.
Or, where Scott Peterson dumps them
Or off the coast of British Columbia.
mike: And you are lucky he doesn't like Mike soup.
cuntie: Or worse - a dead turtle!
colonel: So if you kill someone in another state, you then have all the hassle of transporting the body to New Jersey just to put it in a stream? That seems like so much extra work.
malach & cuntie: Thanks you guys, that made charming breakfast-time reading.
Whats he doin wif his reggalr front legs?
joey, they are packed away in his trunk.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Whatevr th shell do you mean?
I don't know whether to feel sorry for him or rejoice in the fact that something could live in water like that ...
He looks very happy!
Oh to be a turtle
Swimming in the stream.
Wouldn't need a girdle
For such a perfect scheme.
joey: I mean, pull the other one, it's got bells on it.
sara sue: You love that turtle. Never fear, the water was nice and clean, just muddy from the rain.
pheebs: You have captured the moment precisely.
