A wife and her husband were having a dinner party for all the major
status figures in Rome, Italy. 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 this dinner party, so she asked her
husband to run down to the beach with the bucket she was handing him 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 beside him.

They started talking, and she invited him back to her place. They were
at her apartment and one thing lead to another, he was exhausted and
fell asleep.

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

As he hurried up the stairs to the apartment he dropped the bucket of
snails. There were snails all down the stairs. Just then the door
opened and a very angry wife stood in the doorway wondering where he'd
been all night.

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!"
