  • Don't need to be walked in snow and rain
  • Don't want to crawl in your bed
  • Don't shed hair
  • Don't expect to be petted all the time
  • Don't sh!t and pee on your carpet
  • Don't bark and cry for attention
  • Live longer

Easier to cook.

The downside is: they make funny noises during sex. (No joke, my best friend had 2 (1 of them died) and they had a very noisy sex life.)
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Turtles can shoot flames and defeat bad monsters, for free.

• They don't crap on Doof's driveway.
Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

Turtles can be trained to crap on Doof's driveway AND place the blame on dogs.

Unlike dogs, turtle farts are less noxious.
But then, turtles can't fetch. At all. But that's a whole other thread.

Turtles are nature's suction cups!

I'm a bird. I am the 1% (of pets).
