A bloke on the other side of the road asked, "Where are you going?"
The naked man replied, "To a fancy dress party."
"What as?" asked the bemused gentleman.
"A tortoise", said the naked man.
"Well, who is the woman on your back?" said the intrigued gentleman.
"Oh, that's Michelle!!!." the naked man explained.
