Tonka Tortoise

There are so many potential puns and punchlines here, we don't know how to
begin, so let's just start with the who, what, where, et al on this awesome animal story.
A red-footed tortoise was
found --
minus one of her four feet! Joke #1! -- in the wild in San Mateo County,
California and brought into the
local ASPCA.
Vets decided the least intrusive/most economical/flat-out hilarious-est way to
help the three-legged lass was to strap her atop the undercarriage of a toy
Tonka truck. The result: a surprisingly huge amount of mobility for
the lil' critter, who now pushes off with her back legs for power and uses her
one front foot for steering... though she's probably a little bit shell-shocked
by the change... get it? Joke #2!
Nicknamed Tonka, natch, the tortoise
was adopted by a local surfer dude who brags that Tonka likes going for walks
and snacking on tomatoes from his garden. [Insert Joke #3, re: all the fixings
for turtle soup, here

I've seen this used quite a bit for torts.
