    Three turtles, Troy, Andy and Wayne, decide to go on a picnic.

    Troy packs the picnic basket with beer and sandwiches. The trouble is that the picnic site is ten miles away so it takes them ten days to get there.

    When they get there, Troy unpacks the food and beer.

    "Ok Wayne give me the bottle opener"

    "I didn't bring it" says Wayne

    "I thought you packed it"

    Troy gets worried, He turns to Andy, "Did you bring the bottle opener?"

    Naturally Andy didn't bring it. So they're stuck ten miles from home without a bottle opener. Troy and Andy beg Wayne to go back for it. But he refuses as he says they will eat all the sandwiches. After two hours, and after they have sworn on their turtle lives that they will not eat the sandwiches, he finally agrees.

    So Wayne sets off down the road at a steady pace.

    20 days pass and he still isn't back and Troy and Andy are starving, but a promise is a promise.

    Another 5 days and he still isn't back, but a promise is a promise.

    Finally they can't take it any longer so they take out a sandwich each, and just as they are about to eat them, Wayne pops up from behind a rock and shouts, "I knew it! ... I'm not f***ing going!"

    that's funny jrad. thanks.
    one comment though: if you're going to be a teacher, you need to understand some basic spelling rules. the 1-1-1 rule is as basic as it gets.
    when adding a suffix beginning with a vowel (like -ing) to a one syllable, one vowel followed by one consonant word, you must double the final consonant.
    therefore, when using the word flog, which fits the 1-1-1 rule, wayne should have said, "i'm not f****ing going!"

    (if this 1-1-1 link works, this'll be much funnier)

    okay, the link works. so, it would have been funnier if i hadn't written "if this link works..." but that's the sloglearning world we live in. also, if the sentence breaks were different, it'd look a little better. but again, we're just learning. there's only so much i can do at this point to create the quality slog i've got.
