    My wife and I have gone around and around over this subject.

    Who on earth was the first idiot that looked at a slimy slug on the ground and decided that might make a good dinner????

    I will never, under any circumstances ever try a snail.

    Oh, yes, I have been told how good they taste with garlic butter, etc. If they taste so good, then lets see someone eat it without drowning it in sauces.

    It is just sick, I tell ya, just gross!

    So this snail goes down to the local Datsun dealer and falls in love with a brand new 240-Z. He says, "Listen, I'd like to buy this car and I'm paying cash but I wonder if you could do me a favor? I am a snail after all so could you take the Z off the side and replace it with a big S?" The dealer says, "Sure thing! Anything for a cash customer!" So the car is fitted with the big S, the snail pays his money, hops in the car and roars out of the parking lot at 90 MPH. The dealer looks at his partner and says, "Man! Would you look at that S car go!"
