A married couple were having a dinner party for some
important guests. 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 escargot
for the dinner party, so she asked her husband to run
down to the beach with the bucket to gather some snails.

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

He kept thinking to himself, "Wouldn't it be great if
she would even just come down and talk to me?" He went
back to gathering the snails.

All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful woman
was standing right over him. They started talking and
she invited him back to her place. They ended up spending
the night together. 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, but he was in such a hurry
that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped
the bucket of snails spilling them all down the stairs.
The door suddenly opens with a very angry wife standing
in the doorway wondering where he's been all this time.

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