Touché Turtle couldn't have felt more relaxed, more refreshed even
[Mise en scene: In conversation by a stream on a lazy sort of afterlunch between the legendary Touché Turtle and his somewhat lazy canine compadre, Dum-Dum] TOUCHÉ TURTLE, beaming with pride there: You know, Dum-Dum, that week I had in the Caribbean cleaning out as much my inner body as my shell is certainly working wonders ... I can't help but feel fresher and more rejuvenated! DUM-DUM, somewhat fascinated: So what exactly did this inner cleansing of yours entail, Touché? TOUCHÉ TURTLE: Basically, I was "coming out of my shell" on this rather fascinating island somewhere in the Caribbean not otherwise known to many outside of the turtle community ... against whose reefs formed an interesting backdrop for cleansing my inner body--otherwise concealed in my shell--of all sorts of peeling skin, muck, mold, parasites, all that gritty sort of stuff. And just using sea sponges to proceed with the cleaning ... no soap or detergents being used! Just the healing effects of sea water and nothing more ... except maybe for some romance with a couple of turtle gals who were themselves also into this internal cleansing exercise on that reef! Mutual aid more than anything, I have to say, Dum-Dum.... DUM-DUM, fascinated somewhat by Touché's experience: At least I'm glad to hear that you found a world of good there, Touché, after that deep cleansing in the reef! TOUCHÉ TURTLE: Glad you liked it, Dum-Dum!
