Turtle with radio transmitter finds pot growing in park |
Note to prospective pot growers: the park is not a wise place to grow marijuana.
Especially not parks using radio transmitter equipped, chronic curious turtles:
A few weeks ago, her little turtle brain guided her to a sun-splashed clearing deep in the woods. And that’s where she was on the afternoon of July 14 — at the northern end of the 1,754-acre main park, far from any trail — when Ferebee, for the first time in nine days, decided to pay her a visit.
The National Park Service picture makes that rado transmitter look uncomfortable for the turtle. Maybe she was trying to find some pot to get away from the pain of that foreign apparatus? With that stony shell, maybe she doesn’t even notice?
Maybe next time the alleged harvester of sorrow, a “kid” as the story describes, decides to grow chronic he’ll check out former drug agent Barry Cooper’s DVD Never Get Busted Again. Haven’t seen the flick but I’m guessing there isn’t a scene about being on the alert for turtles with radio transmitters.
Did this post make you go hmm?

Okay…so until I read the article, I was under the impression that the turtle had been rigged TO FIND drugs. Which made no sense at all. Bwah!

Hehe Uptake, was a bit of Saturday humor. Watch the categorization for anything placed in the ‘humor’ category, as most posts there are probably lathered with much tongue-in-cheek.
