I like turtles because they're so chill. They don't hurt anyone. They're just like, "Hey man, I want to swim, and maybe eat some lettuce. But I'm gonna take my time getting there, I'm not in a rush. Because I'm a turtle." amirite?

i think you might be referring to tortoises, since turtles are actually quite moderately fast swimmers and crawlers. Also, they're not very calm either, most turtles are carnivorous hunters. They do "chill" when they bask in the sun. Maybe you're referring more to sloths, who hang on trees and nap all day.

Sorry this is so late but I just saw this and I'm upset by your sarcastic attitude. So here's the Mitch Hedberg joke you're thinking of: frogs are always cool. Never has there been a frog hopping toward me, and I thought, "Man, here comes that frog...I'd better play dead." You never say, "Here comes that frog" in a terrified manner. It's always optimistic, like, "Hey, here comes that frog, all right. What part did I copy?
