Tortoise: I don't know, it all happened so fast

Thie is great, I think because despite the bizarre situation, the response of the tortoise feels exactly right - it is precisely what a tortoise would feel. (OK, can't quite believe I am writing thism - how do I know what a tortoise would feel - but I hope you know what I mean.) Game me a really good laugh.
Nicely done
