Turtle wheel

Here is the story:

Heidi, Amanda, and I went to Florida in the summer of 2003. We stopped first in Orlando for 3 nights and then on to Daytona Beach for 3 more nights. One of the first nights we were watching some tv while getting ready and debating on what to do. Ripley's Believe It or Not was on at the time. On the show there was this turtle who didn't have 1 of his legs, so instead he had a tiny little wheel. It was like the size of a skateboard wheel. We named it the "turtle wheel." That became our obsession, we were constantly saying turtle wheel. When we went to Daytona, the hotel next to us was the Turtle Inn, so we renamed it the Turtle Wheel Inn (or Turtle Wheelin, get it? ha ha). Heidi and I were sitting on our balcony being stupid and listening to some tunes one of the last nights we were there. Pour Some Sugar on Me came on and there's that long guitar solo on the middle and the next part is "You got the peaches I got the cream." At the same time, Heidi and I both belted out "You got the turtle, I got the wheel" with no planning whatsoever. Great minds think alike. We laughed and laughed about that, so now everytime I hear that song it reminds me of that night.

I hope now when you hear that song you'll think of the turtle wheel. Remember, you got the turtle, I got the wheel!
