There's battle lines being drawn.
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong.
Young people speaking their minds
getting so much resistance from behind

Story Bone

Bestest Dad Dan (and he has the trophies to prove it) sends along this Story Bone from the category of overheard, out of context lines which are just so interesting they have to be used.

"If I was in charge, we would be up to our necks in box turtles."

Context was a discussion about predator-prey balance. But feel free to wing it. You could go with the "It's turtles all the way down" concept, or (another favorite quote) "thundering herd of turtles."

It's tough to best a line like that!

Rick, yeah, that one is a good one. I'm glad I have friends that share.
