So ...was going down dirt road and saw a woman about 45 and (probably) her Mom stopped in the road. As I approached, I stopped too; turtle.
She and I both get out of our cars and she says, "Thanks for stopping." "No problem," I say, "I can get the turtle. I can always use another 'cupin'." AND..without thinking, I smack my back pocket as I do to illustrate to the teens.
Here's the funny.... She says "Cupin?" ..and she slaps her back pocket! Now I know she's funny, so I say, "Yeah, cupins" (smack). "What's a 'cupin?" she asks (smack.)
I tell her, "A 'cupin' (smack), is for when you die and have to face your transgressions, you can reach in your back pocket and say, "What about that turtle?"
Ha! Two 'cupins' for me! Saved a turtle, and made two women laugh. Nothing better.
