A pragmatic joke reviewed as his most loved by the dramatist Charles MacArthur, concerns the American painter and bohemian character Waldo Peirce. While living in Paris in the 1920s, Peirce "made an endowment of a major turtle to the lady who was the attendant of his building". The lady hovered over the turtle and lavished care on it. A couple days after the fact Peirce substituted a to some degree bigger turtle for the first one. This proceeded for quite a while, with bigger and bigger turtles being surreptitiously brought into the lady's loft. The attendant was adjacent to herself with bliss and showed her marvelous turtle to the whole neighborhood. Peirce then started to sneak in and supplant the turtle with littler and littler ones, to her dazed distress.This was the storyline behind Esio Trot, by Roald Dahl.
