Ambitious Snail

There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow.

He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get.

So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted “240-S”.

The dealer asks, “Why ‘S’?”

The snail replies, “‘S’ stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who’s driving.”

Well, the dealer doesn’t want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee. The snail gets his new car and spends the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed.

And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they’d say “Wow! Look at that S-car go!”

Found at and burgled from Wom Tigley

  1. How odd … Last summer I found a snail oozing across my front step, so I kicked it across the lawn.

    Last night there was a knock at my door, I opened it, and there was the same snail, yelling:
    “WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?”

  3. @ Metro, Typical human male. Testing his muscles on a mollusc. He should keep knocking on your door every time he gets back – about once every six months!

    @ Bullfrog, Good to see you back from your bout of tropical laziness. Carn the Dockers!
