OLD and in the way?

 Ages ago, the Buffalo Zoo had an ancient tortoise with a saddle. If you were lucky, like me, you got a turtle ride!
A relatively safe excursion for a small child, actually kinda boring and uneventful.
There's even a chance you'd saddle up and stand still.
It's still a fond memory and how many people can say they rode a turtle? Really?
