Snapper Bites Turtle-Kisser’s Tongue
A few choice quotes from Turtle-Kisser, Calvin “Clicker” Embry, via the Evansville Courier & Press:
"I guess I've kissed about a hundred snappin' turtles and never been bit — until this last time."
"I can usually kiss him on the snout, then lick their eyeballs before they wake up, but something went really wrong."
"Do you know how hard it is to talk with a 15-pound snappin' turtle hanging off the end of your tongue?"
"That doctor hadn't ever seen anything like this, so he took some pictures for the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. . . ."
Be sure to check out the full story.
Words simply don't suffice...

Best quote of the day so far:

I think trying to make out with a turtle is wayyyyyy beyond lonely.

I'm not surprised that someone would try it, but amazed that someone would actually TRY it! How ignorant can you be!?
