A woman sends her husband out to buy some escargot for the dinner party that night. Instead of going straight to the store, the husband decides to stop at a local bar. He has a few beers, and then some more, and pretty soon her looks at his watch and finds he’s over an hour late for the dinner party.

He dasher to the store, picks up the escargot, and frantically drives home. When he walks in the door, he can hear his wife coming from the kitchen.

So he takes the bag of snails and quickly throws them all over the floor. When his wife walks into the room, he says: “Come on guys, we’re almost there.”
