    There was once a snail who was sick and tired of his reputation for being so slow. He decided to get some fast wheels to make up the difference. After shopping around a while, he decided that the Datson 240-Z was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Datsun dealer and says he wants to buy the 240-Z, but he wants it repainted "240-S". The dealer asks, "Why 'S'?" The snail replies, "'S' stands for snail. I want everybody who sees me roaring past to know who's driving." Well, the dealer doesn't want to lose the unique opportunity to sell a car to a snail, so he agrees to have the car repainted for a small fee. The snail gets his new car and spent the rest of his days roaring happily down the highway at top speed. And whenever anyone would see him zooming by, they'd say "Wow! Look at that S-car go!"

              You are really dating yourself. That is really old (production 1969-1973 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_Z-car[^]). Should have either updated to the Nissan 370Z. Of course I do not think that any car has recently been called a Z-car, which was the nickname for the 240Z.

                  Sort of too bad, unless you live through the time you would never know the nickname for the 240Z, and it is not much of a joke.

                    It's still fun if you know the french word for snail though (I didn't know the 240Z was nicknamed the Z).

                        OK I like that. :) I was thinking the last time Mike dated himself. His psychiatrist upped his meds and doubled his session time.

                        It was broke, so I fixed it.

                            My Dad once had a Datsun. "Go" was the last thing it ever did, to be honest.

                              ah the 240Z, rumored to be called that as it only contained 24 oz of steel in its entire body!

                              You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.
