Have you ever heard the joke, A snail gets robbed by two turtles? The police interview the snail, asking for descriptions of the suspects. "I don't know," the snail says. "It all just happened so fast.

Great picture Stanley. I remember as a young child finding these on the highway and Mamma would let me pick them up and play with them and let them loose again.
