A man walked into his local pub and approached a group of his friends stood at the bar. The man had under his arm a tortoise.
'This is my new pet tortoise, it's brilliant and if I ask it to, it'll fetch things for me - my slippers, the TV remote, all sorts!' the man said.
'Sorry mate, but you're talking rubbish!' one of the man's friends replied.
'OK, I'll prove it - go to the corner shop, get me a newspaper and bring it back here' the man instructed the tortoise.
He placed the tortoise on the floor and the men all ordered a pint. Two hours passed and still there was no sign of the tortoise with the newspaper.
One of the man's friends looked at his watch and said 'Come on then, where's that tortoise with the newspaper?'
A small voice then shouted back from near the pub door - 'If you don't shut up I won't bloody go...'
