I can read it the way it is right now. Do you still want me to flip you over?

Also seen on many jeeps.

Wow! The turtle has been on a sudden gigantic growth spurt. Even though the red bird is standing closer to us, he used to be taller than the turtle, as you can see in the cover photo on the left.

Practicality.

It’s like a prehistoric precursor to Life Alert:

Another version: “Help! I’ve tipped over and can’t get right-side up!”

Maybe he could put a spring on his shell so that when he tips over, he gets a little extra push to turn himself over.

They have similar windshield decals for Jeeps.

The trouble is, I can read the notice. Should I flip you over, now?

Stole the sign from a Jeep owner.

Getting a little proactive, John?

He will try to bite you if you attempt to render assistance, so be careful.

My my, how big you’ve grown….or is it the multi level shell?

Visualizing whirled peas, while getting shelled…

The turtle would be right at home with a pineapple upside down cake

I had a Suzuki Samuri in the 90s. Very short wheel base with high center of gravity. Owners of that car put the exact same bumper sticker on the car because of it’s propensity to flip over.

This brought to mind the turtle on a fence post story.

“While suturing a cut on the hand of a 75 year old Texas rancher, whose hand was caught in a gate while working cattle, the doctor struck up a conversation with the old man.

Eventually the topic got around to politics and then they discussed some new guy who was far too big for his shoes as a politician.

The old rancher said, ‘Well, ya know, he is a post turtle’. Not being familiar with the term, the doctor asked him what a ‘post turtle’ was.

The old rancher said, ‘When you’re driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a ‘post turtle’.

The old rancher saw a puzzled look on the doctor’s face, so he continued to explain. ‘You know he didn’t get up there by himself, he doesn’t belong up there, he doesn’t know what to do while he is up there, and you just wonder what kind of a dumb @$$ put him up there in the first place.’ “

I tried this as a kid. Flipped the turtle over on his back, just to see what would happen. Turtles are smarter than you think, he flipped himself back upright and continued on. But this turtle maybe not?

“You’re not helping, Leon. Why is that?”

Most people now would film him and put him on YouTube for the likes

Then followed the cow tipping rage…

I really wonder how nature can create someone, who cannot turn on his other side by himself.

Good thing those of us who can read upside down aren’t literalists. We’d be flipping you over constantly.
