Desert tortoise Puns

...just outside of Tucson. I came across a desert tortoise slowly making it's way up the trail.

As I made my way carefully around the old man of the desert, I saw something clinging to the tortoise's back.

I carefully leaned down to see what it was. A snail! Holding to the back of the tortoise.

And as I leaned closer, I could distinctly hear the snail screaming, "Weee! Faster! Faster!"

Happy cake day!
