One day we were listening to CAP-COM (World Wide Communications System) while Schirra and Cooper were orbiting the Earth in one of the early GEMINI Flights. Deke Slayton asked, "Wally are you a Turtle?" Schirra responded, "That's a heck of a way to win a drink."
The next time Wally came to our Lab I asked him what that was all about. He said that the original 7 Astronauts had formed this Turtle Club. They were adding a few members to it and did I wish to join.
Of course, anything good enough for the Astronauts was good enough for me. "Ok, here's the deal. Every Turtle assumes every other Turtle owns a Donkey. If one Turtle asks another Turtle "Are you a Turtle , he(she) is required to answer "You bet you sweet ass I am." You must give that exact answer or you must buy the asking Turtle a drink of their choice.
Obviously Wally couldn't give that response with the world listening in.
Here are a few of about 25 qualifying questions, that given the correct answers (non-vulgar), will entitle you to become a member of the TURTLE CLUB. If you answer at least 4 of these questions with the proper answer, you will become a TURTLE. I'll swear you in if you are successful and if you so desire. You'll join the ranks of several thousand distinguished members world wide, but remember, it could be costly if you don't give the proper response to another TURTLE'S question, "Are you a TURTLE?" ("YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS I AM"). As a TURTLE, you are entitled to proudly wear a TURTLE Tie Tack, Lapel Pin or other distinguishing items that will identify you a TURTLE ( Look for these items that might be worn by your acquaintances and friends that will identify them as TURTLES). You'll have to purchase these items commercially yourself from various sources - I can't remember where I got my Tie Tack, but it's two small gold turtles making love - a single TURTLE is sufficient.
Qualifying questions:
The answers to the following questions are neither vulgar, lewd, nor salacious.
What does a woman do sitting down, that a dog does on three legs, and a man does standing up?
What is a four letter word, ending with "k," that means intercourse?
What is so long, and so hard, and sticks so far out of a man's pajamas in the morning, that he could hang a hat upon it??
What does a cow have four of, that a woman only has two of?
What is long, hard, and tubular and filled with "sea-men?"
What does a dog do that a man steps into?
