What's faster than a herd of turtles? A herd of turtles wearing lederhosen.

 

The words you’re about to read may seem unusually convoluted on the surface. Don’t worry, they’re written in a secret code designed to confound and amuse (or maybe that’s confuse and abuse). In any case, it took me whole fractions of a fraction of a second to compose each sentence in such a way as to be more titillating than a herd of turtles decked out in tight-fitting lederhosen. But wait, there’s more to come! Continue reading
