Prolly not if he's a member of the Malaclemys club.

But is he insulted if ya call him slow?

A bruised and battered turtle crawls into a police station. He says to the cop: "A gang of snails just beat me up!". The cop says: "Did you get a good look at them?". The turtle says: "Well, no, it all happened so fast!"
