Three turles, Joe, Gerry, and Ray go on a picnic. Joe packs the picnic basket with biscuits, bottles of coke and sandwiches. Trouble is, the picnic site is ten miles away, so the turtles take ten days to get there. By the time they arrive, everyone is exhausted. Joe begins to unpack. He takes out the bottles and say: "Alright, Gerry, gimme the bottle opener." <br><br>"I didn't bring the bottle opener," Gerry says. <br><br>"I thought you packed it." <br><br>Joe turns to Ray: "Do you have the bottle opener?" Ray doesn't have it, so the turtles are stuck ten miles away from home without anything to drink. Joe and Gerry beg Ray to turn back home and retrieve it, but Ray flatly refuses, knowing that they'll have eat everything by the time he gets back. <br><br>After about two hours, the turtles manage to convince Ray to go, swearing that they won't touch the food. So, Ray sets off down the road, slow and steady. <br><br>Three weeks pass, but no Ray. Joe and Gerry are hungry and puzzled, but a promise is a promise. Anoher day passes and still there is no sign of Ray, but a promise is a promise. <br><br>After three more days without Ray in sight, Gerry Starts getting restless. "i need food," he cries. <br><br>"No," retorts Joe, "We promised." <br><br>Five more days pass. By now Joe and Gerry are desperate. So the two turtles weakly lift the lid of the picnic basket, take out a sandwich each, and open their mouths to eat. <br><br>Then right at that instant, Ray pops out from behind a rock, and shouts "I Knew it! I'm not blooming going!"<br>
