Yay! We haven't had one of these for a while. The quotation actually helped me with the rest of the answers.

Fun! And yep I googled the quote early on and that was a big help to me, too.

I thought that the quote could have had a better second part, i.e., the part that follows the first six words. I thought of a couple, but they were a bit crude. So are the ones on Reddit, and they're mostly not even clever.

One of my favorite formats. Been trying to find more.

Speaking of sex.... I was looking out the window at the Lake yesterday morning and wondered what kind of animal that was out by the flag pole. I could just see something's head, but couldn't tell what it was. I went out to look and saw a turtle that looked like it had gotten turned over on its back. I thought I would go over and see if I could help. As I got closer, I saw the other turtle in front of the one I first saw. The wildlife were getting wild right out in the open in broad daylight. I was SHOCKED I tell you.Bird Lives wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 10:46 am I thought that the quote could have had a better second part, i.e., the part that follows the first six words.

The turtle lives 'twixt plated decks
Which practically conceal its sex.
I think it clever of the turtle
In such a fix to be so fertile.

Another gem from PB. I like this format, makes you think a little differently.
