    Joke of the day

    Thought i'd start a thread so we can post some jokes. I'll start with a shocker :) I'm just getting in to snail racing. I bought a special snail but it wasn't fast enough, so I removed the shell to save weight. If anything it just made it more sluggish. Told you it was good!
