One morning a blind tortoise was walking down the tortoise trail, and he tripped over a large snake and fell, bang!, right on his head. "Oh, please excuse me!" said the tortoise. "I didn't mean to trip over you, but I'm blind and can't see."

"That's perfectly all right," replied the snake. "To be sure, it was my fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?"

"Well, I really don't know," said the tortoise. "I'm blind, and I've never seen myself. Maybe you could examine me and find out."

So the snake felt the tortoise all over, and he said, "Well, you've got a hard shell on top, and soft underneath, and you have a small head, and a little tail and you seem to move slowly... You must be a tortoise!"

Then he said, "I can't thank you enough, but by the way, what kind of animal are you?"
And the snake replied that he didn't know, and the tortoise agreed to examine him, and when he was finished, the snake said, "Well, what kind of an animal am I?"

So the tortoise felt the snake all over, and he replied, "You're hard, you're cold, you're slimy and you haven't got any balls... You must be a lawyer."
