Snail Speed

"Vegetable Soup"

Checking the menu, a restaurant customer ordered
a bowl of vegetable soup. After a couple of spoonfuls,
he saw a circle of wetness right under the bowl on
the tablecloth.

He called the waitress over and said, "It's all wet
down here. The bowl must be cracked."

The waitress said, "You ordered vegetable soup,
didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Maybe it has a leek in it!"

"Snail Speed"

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
Datsun 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 spent 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!"
