Oh dear :-( My pet racing snail Shelley...

 
...has finished last in every one of the 93 races I've entered him in.
 
 
In a desperate attempt to speed him up by making him lighter and more aerodynmaic, I took off his shell...
 
 
That didn't work though, it just made him more sluggish.

    There was a little knock on the door one day, I opened and looked down to see a snail. I was in a bad mood so I kicked it over the garden wall. A year later there was another knock at the door. I opened it to see the same snail. 'What did you do that for?' he said.

    "Big issue, sir?"

    A man goes to a Halloween party with a woman on his back.

    The host asks him, "And what are you?"

    The man says, “I’m a snail."

    The host says, "And who's that on your back?"




    And the man says, "That's Michelle!"

    A snail goes to a Cadillac dealership in Vegas and buys a new car. But when he buys it he has specific instructions for the dealer.
    "I want you to give it a paint job" says the snail.
    "Sure, what color?" says the dealer.
    "I want you to paint a big red S on the hood, the doors, the roof and the trunk." instructs the snail.
    "Sure thing," says the dealer, "but can I ask why?"
    The snail looks at him and explains:



    " So when I go driving up and down the strip all the people watching me say "Look at that S Car Go!!!!

    A snail walks into a bank to make a deposit. Then a turtle comes in and robs the bank. Afterward, the police are interviewing the snail and asks him to recount what had happened. The snail says, "I don't know, it all happened so fast."...I think Paulo and I just Googled the same snail joke page ;-)

    the problem is:
    Your snail needs a Cadillac.  And on each side of the Cadillac, there needs to be a large S in some beautiful slightly Gothic script.  Oh and the car needs a big engine for fast acceleration.  

    That way when the snail was quickly hitting 60 (less than 4 seconds), everyone on the street would say

    "Wow, look at that S car go!"

    That would give Shelly the pride to win the next race.

    oops, paulo beat me. 

    So, about a year ago, this snail came up to my door and rang the doorbell.  Honestly, I had had a bad day to that point and having a snail salesman come up to my door at 7pm trying to sell me insurance just bugged the hell out of me.  The interchange went something like this:

    Ding Dong
    Door opens
    "Hi my name is Shelly and I am here tonight to discuss how you intend to provide for your loved ones once you are gone."
    At which point, I grabbed the snail and tossed it completely across the street into an empty lot.

    Well last night, the door bell rings.  It is that same snail.  

    Ding Dong
    Door opens
    "What the hell was that about???"

    Maurice the snails are well ahead of you.

    That ones further up the page already.

    Anyway.....
