There was once a snail that 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 Honda S2000 was the car to get. So the snail goes to the nearest Honda dealer and says he wants to buy the S2000, but he wants all the emblems replaced with Rick's "S" emblems.

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 rebadged 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!"

Very good! You're no doubt familiar with the Nissan S-cargo. A Japanese minivan that is very loosely based on the styling of the Citroen 2cv - hence the escargot nomenclature.

The following link shows you what one looks like http://www.microcar.org/CarSpecs/NissanSCargo.html

 

Nice thoughts but not really a considered as a joke eh? I can't seem to find my humor in this post.

 

Originally used (in somewhat modified fashion) in "Trading Places" with Eddie Murphy, Day Aykroyd, and the incredible transforming Jamie Lee Curtis.

 

Takashi,

The joke is kinda subtle - "Look at that S-car go"..... basically sounds like
"Look at that Escargot". Escargot is a french food, made with snails....

 

This goes along with two other bad puns on the French language.

Why will a Frenchman never drown?

Because the water is alway l'eau (pronounced low)

Why will a Frenchman never go hungry?

Because one egg is an oeuf(sorry for the spelling)
