I'm not sure if this qualifies. I went overboard with the puns. It's not so much a joke anymore, but I'm going with what I wrote.


One morning, Owen the tortoise decided to shell out some money at the ProBoards store. He heard that the ProBoards biography was a best sheller and he decided it would be a fun read on the beach. He decided to pick up the novel in person by flying his private shell-ecopter to the ProBoards California office and felt like an instant shell-ebrity when meeting the ProBoards admins themselves. Owen made sure that every admin autographed his new book.

When Owen made it back to the Jersey Shore and realized he couldn't swim, he was shell-shocked, but decided to sit on his beach towel and read his new book. He quickly drew the attention of everyone on the beach, but was a little shellfish and didn't share the book with anyone. He befriended Shelliot and Shelly, two sea turtles who were basking in the sun. They had a bit of a shell-ebration as they discussed their mutual love for ProBoards. They thought it was a good idea to rent some beach scooters, put on their shell-mets, and sped along the beach.

It was a tort-le disaster, however, when they crossed paths with something that sturtled them. It was Gordon Ramsey who made sinister comments about turtle soup and a slow cooker. Luckily, Owen, Shelly, and Shelliot had their shell-phones and were able to call for help. They all made it to their homes safely and lived hundreds of years to retell their story.
