"Snails"



A Producer and his wife were attending the premier of his latest film at Cannes, and they decided to have a dinner party for all the major players in Monaco. The wife was very excited about this and wanted everything to be perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any snails for the dinner party, so she asked her husband to run down to the beach to gather some.

Very grudgingly he agreed. He grabbed a bucket, walked out the door, down the steps, and out to the beach. As he was collecting the snails, he noticed a beautiful young starlet strolling alongside the water just a little further down the beach.

His mind wandered, thinking of all the times he had enjoyed those "casting sessions" with young starlets on the sofa in his office. He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be great if she would even come down and just talk to me?" But he remembered the dinner party, and returned to gathering the snails. After a few seconds he looked up, and the beautiful starlet was standing right over him.

They got to talking, and upon learning that he was a major producer, she invited him back to her place. They went to her apartment a few hundred feet down the beach and started messing around. Afterwards, he was exhausted and passed out there.

At seven o'clock the next morning he woke up and exclaimed, "Oh no!!! My wife's dinner party! !!" He gathered all his clothes, put them on real fast, grabbed his bucket, and ran out the door. He ran down the beach all the way to his apartment.

He ran up the stairs of his apartment. He was in such a hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped the bucket of snails.

There were snails all down the stairs. The door opened just then to reveal a very angry wife standing in the doorway wondering where he'd been all night.

He looked at the snails on the steps, then he looked at her, then back at the snails and said:
"Come on guys, we're almost there!"
