TURTLE

IN THE FIFTH AND SIXTH GRADE WHEN GIRLS FIRST BEGAN WEARING
BRAS, THE BOYS WOULD COME UP BEHIND THE GIRLS AND ASK THEM
"ARE YOU A TURTLE?" THE GIRL WOULD REPLY "NO" AND THEN THE
BOY WOULD PULL THE BACK OF HER BRA STRAP AND SAY, "WELL THEN HOW COME
YOU SNAP?"

Submitter comment: THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS WAS FOR THE BOY TO DO IT FAST ENOUGH
THAT THE GIRL COULD NOT TURN AROUND AND HIT HIM OR CHASE HIM
