A wife sends her husband to the market on a saturday morning to buy some fresh snails. He does as he was told, but on the way back he takes himself into a pub and orders some beer. After 4 hours he remembers the snails and his angry wife and hurries back home. As he arrives, he puts all the snails to the ground, all in a row, rings the bell and says as his wife opens the door:

"Well, folks, just another 2 yards and we're home!"
