Noah's Tortoise

A naturalist walking on the beach discovered the world's oldest living animal today. He found a very large tortoise, with, "I was with Noah on the ark, and all I got was this lousy shell" carved on it's hoary old top. The naturalist estimates the beast to be between three and four thousand years old. Ants were eating at its eye and the naturalist got them out with two cans of Raid. The tortoise responded by gratefully licking his hand.
