AttyPops' Snail Joke for the Snails thread....

This is in several parts because I'd rather type it a little at a time. It's easier on us all that way. It is quoted for easy spotting:

The title of the Joke is....(Duh, Ta, Taaah) Sammy Snail

(Did I tell this one already?)

Silly Story of Sammy Snail^*
It was a bright and sunny Spring day and Sammy Snail was sliding down the street (because, you know, snails don't exactly walk). He was humming a snail-y type of tune (Pretty sure that snails can't whistle.) All of a sudden, across the street, he spies Sally Snail sliding down the sidewalk. She's was looking mighty silky....

He spotted her and stubbed his single muscular foot on the sidewalk at the same time. Stupid sidewalks. But, thankfully, she didn't notice.

He turns toward her and waves an eye-stalk. "Hiya Sally!!!" .....

^*As amended per Tibby's corrections and other Snail Thread input. Even though it's just a Silly Sammy Snail joke...we can't avoid that keen sense of German Engineering....even for a joke.

morning, atty! i'm on my way out - maybe i should consider picking up a hearing aid, lol


@ bear - bonsai is adaptable to both indoor and outdoor applications ...............

 

[tiburonfirst]

i shall return to look for an explanation how sammy managed to grow a foot! it might come in handy for all those snails in here!

really gone now!

 

[AttyPops]

They have one foot....I thought it was a toe, but it's a foot. If you find differently, I shall amend the joke.

 

[tiburonfirst]

well, i better make use of it then!

 

[AttyPops]

For future snail thread reference:

BTW...that's NOT a picture of Sammy. He's more suave than that snail....

 

[SilverBear]

"Eye stalk".

Make me freaking puke!!!

 

[FranC]

Back again. Shopping sucks.

 

[AttyPops]

Silly Story of Sammy Snail (continued)

Sally didn't even notice him. She just kept sliding. Suddenly, Seymour Snail drives by in his "fancy" sports car. Sally perks up and waves "hi" to him (and smiles) as he rolls by. Sammy is sad. He says "I know, I'm tired of all this sliding. I'm going to "get modern" too and get some wheels.

(to be continued...again)

[SilverBear]

Whatever......

...says bubble-bursting, wind-taken-from-sail party-pooper.


And how can a simple "Whatever....." reply have an edit history????


ETA:
Maybe a mod can look at the history and tell me the details.

 

[SilverBear]

Porkchops... and applesauce.

 

[tiburonfirst]

They have one foot....I thought it was a toe, but it's a foot. If you find differently, I shall amend the joke.

no need to amend! most snails have one foot but there are a few without - they just don't move. that's our category i suspect!

Porkchops... and applesauce.

ham and fried apples!

what's the matter, bear? we all got eye stalks!

 

[SilverBear]

ham and fried apples!

You don't "get" my pop-culture reference.


FRIED apples?!!?!? Excuse me while I call RALPH in his BUICK.

 

[FranC]

Just got home.again. I see you found Hibi's CoOp.

Silly Story of Sammy Snail (continued yet again)

So sullen Sammy Snail slides on down to Sal's snail car emporium and, having cashed out his savings bonds at the local snail bank, selects a snazzy sports model. "I'll take it!" he said, and off the lot he rode.

Not to be outdone by Seymour, our snail Sam decides to go for the custom paint job. He heads to the local custom body shop and gets a custom set of racing stripes....complete with "SS" on the side of the car merged in with the strips...kinda curvy stripe "S"'s. "SS", of course, stands for "Sammy Snail". Or "Speedy Sammy". He also gets custom wheels and a horn that goes "A WhoooGa!" and then plays some snail music. Now, you may know that snail music is of too low a frequency for humans to hear and thus cannot be described to them. However, I assure you that, to a snail, it is really very cool.

(to be continued...again and again)

I don't have any eye stalks.


Oh... wait a second...

OK. If you guys don't quit perverting snail eye stalk references, in the snail thread, that you had a chance to pervert for the last 1000 days or so....I'm going to get ticked off. This is a nice clean snail joke for the snail thread...

Just say'n......
