Are you a turtle?

[Gaudere]

My grandmother and mother were both turtles. So coomon turles have been around at least 60 years, I reckon, unless grandma got initiated well past the usual time (before or around the time one first starts drinking seems to be the norm).

“coomon turles” = “common turtles” Sheesh. Fumble-fingers.

I have footge of my dad’s initiation into the Shellbacks. But that’s neither here nor there.

This is off a printed card:

The "turtles are indeed an illustrious group and inclde in their membership ranks some of the country’s formost leaders in the fields of government, finance, entertainment, aerospace and all other areas where agressiveness, a feeling for fair play, clean thoughts and a sense of humor are keys to success. Started by a group of test pilots during the 2nd world war, the club has progressed to its present position as one whose membership is diligently sought after and highly esteemed by those lucky enough to be initiated. Adherence to the creed and always giving the password when asked are the only responsibilities placed on our membership. You will find that life is more fun and takes on new meaning when you are a “Turtle”. Welcome to the group. – G.H.

Hey! Cut me some slack! I was trying to stop the fight before someone had to step in and I hadn’t done that much research yet!

Besides, I wasn’t wrong just not right!

[RM_Mentock]

true enough. I think whoever said sixty years is maybe even closer.

[GuanoLad]

Oh. It’s about drinking.

Well I’m proud to not be a part.
