You've Tortoise Something Today

A corporate office building "NoArc Inc.". Daytime.
We see an ecstatic young man in business attire rushing through the halls of his building leaving overturned mail-carts and papers flying in his wake.  He reaches the door of the president of the company.  He busts in without hesitation; out of breath:

Young Man:
Sir.  I've got it. The numbers weren't adding up, there was no real balance in any of our event centers.  I was...

President:
THIS is highly inappro...

Young Man:
I know sir, but I may have found the solution to our problem with the Goat Zoo division: We are adding too much of the wrong thing. We add a donkey: nothing.  We add a pig: nothing.  We add the Corner of Ducks exhibit: still nothing!  The only thing keeping the whole operation from going into the shitter is the Llama Greeter and maybe the really, really little goat. The giant rabbit was a great idea, but our development team, they  overlooked it's libido.  I thought it over and over in my head "there HAS to be SOMEthing".  Then it hit me.


(silence)

President:
I'm listening.

Young Man:
African. Spiny. Tortoise.

President:
Of course.  It was right in front of us; this whole time.  Son, you've just earned partner.


(the two shake hands fervently)
