The following is a condensed version of what happened... Car Dealer: Hello Mr. Snail, what can I do for you today. Mr. Snail: I have been saving money for years now and I am finally here to buy a Porsche. That Turbo Carerra over there looks mighty fine! CD: That's a very expensive car, can you really afford it? MS: No problem there, in fact I want a custom paint job. Can you arrange to get it painted with little "S"'s all over? CD: OK, little fellow. Whatever you say. A week later the car was ready and Mr. Snail went back to the dealer. He was very excited, as you might imagine. CD: Your car is ready, but before you go will you please explain why you wanted little "S"'s painted all over it? MS: Well, now when I go tearing down the road, people will say " Look at that S car go! ".
