They're not always that slow - I saw one driving a car in Paris with an 'S' painted on the side. It was going so fast that I said to my girlfriend 'Look at that 'S' car go!' (escargot - get it!?)

snails pick up parasites from bird droppings which affects their eyes and forces them up into the open in hopes that the host gets eaten by a bird where the parasites thrive and reproduce. cue Elton John's circle of life song

I use to make escargot at the Italian restaurant where I worked. I don't see how anyone can eat those rubbery things.

If they lose an eye it will grow back.

penawareof, the first time I had escargot, it was tender and delicious but the next time I tired it, the chef was terrible so the snails were awful and rubbery: yuck!

Player #2455221, a family friend made them. I saw green foam in the pan! SO disgusting! I like to try different cuisines... but Snails, Escargot
No! I'll pass.

I had them once, but I was in Paris, very drunk and very young. Couldn’t do it now.(not in Paris, not drunk and not young!)
Mama Crow
I'll pass on the snails--just put the butter and garlic on a slice of bread, please.

A gang of snails mugged a tortoise in New York City. The tortoise went to the nearest police station to make a report. When the police asked the tortoise what happened, the rather flustered tortoise responded: “well gee, it’s hard to remember, it all happened so fast….”

Absolutetruthin1777, Only Mystery Snails can do this. Some snails don't have any eyes at all.
