"Snail Story"
A wife and her husband were having a dinner party for
some important guests. The wife was very excited about
this and wanted everything to be perfect. At the very
last minute, she realized that she didn't have any
escargot for the dinner party, so she asked her husband
to run down to the beach with the bucket to gather some
snails.
Very grudgingly he agreed ... He took the bucket, walked
out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. As
he was collecting the snails, he noticed a beautiful
woman strolling alongside the water just a little
further down the beach.
He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be great if
she would even just come down and talk to me?" He
went back to gathering the snails.
All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful woman
was standing right over him. They started talking and
she invited him back to her place. They ended up
spending the night together. At seven o'clock the next
morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh no!!! My wife's
dinner party!!"
He gathered all his clothes, put them on real fast,
grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door. He ran down
the beach all the way to his apartment. He ran up the
stairs of his apartment. He was in such a hurry that
when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped the
bucket of snails. There were snails all down the
stairs. The door opened just then, with a very angry
wife standing in the door way wondering where he's
been all this time.
He looked at the snails all down the steps, then he
looked at her, then back at the snails and said, "Come
on guys, we're almost there!!"
