Clyde sent me this one.
Mr. Snail entered many races but was always soundly defeated. Finally he told his friends he was buying a Porsche so he could complete with a chance to win races. When the car arrived, he had a very fancy crest that featured a stylistic “S” in the center painted on the doors, trunk, and hood. His friends told him that you don’t ruin the design of a car like a Porsche by painting designs on it. Snail replied that he wanted everyone to know who he was when he raced. In his first race he took off in blazing speed, and his friends exclaimed,
“Wow, look at that S car go !!”
Clyde said Claudia might have to help some of the readers with this one.
On a related note, my friend Boudicca went to a school whose mascot was a snail and she told me at the games the cheerleaders would chant, “Go, Go, Escargot!”
Molluscs everywhere are impressed!
I now realize that I’d heard this one years ago, but it’s been long enough that it seemed like a new one. Made me groan & grin.
I have to admit this “sluggish” pun snailed it, alright.
What the shell! Why did you snail it for us, Denny? Your fans are not snailures. They can slink, come out of the shell, and crash a pun, even in a slow fast lane. Anyhow, next slime., you might be too busy for puns. Better start snail varnishing your prose against Sluggary Slugton. Slime flies, and the race is to the slimey swift, alas!
Hmmmmm….. Trading Places, anyone?
Denny,
Austin Peay St. Univ. in Clarksville TN, named for a former governor.
Peay is pronounced “Pee” and the cheer there is, “Let’s go Peay!”
