A wife and her husband were having a dinner party for all the major status figures in the Vendee, France.
The wife was very excited about this and wanted everything to be perfect. At the very last minute, she realized that she didn't have any snails for this dinner party, so she asked her husband to run down to the woods with the bucket she handed him, to gather some snails. Very grudgingly he agreed.
He took the bucket, walked out the door, down the steps, and out to the woods. As he was collecting the snails, he noticed a beautiful woman walking along the track just a little further into the woods. He kept thinking to himself "Wouldn't it be great if she would even just come down and talk to me." He went back to gathering the snails.
All of a sudden he looked up, and the beautiful woman was standing right in front of him. They got to talking, and she invited him back to her place.
They were at her apartment , and things got quite hot and heavy, such that he was exhausted afterwards and fell asleep.
At seven o'clock the next morning he woke up and remembered the dinner party
He gathered his clothes, dressed quickly, grabbed his bucket, and ran out of the door.
He ran all the way to his apartment, up the stairs, but was in such a hurry that when he got to the top of the stairs, he dropped the bucket of snails.
There were snails all down the stairs. The door opened just then, with a very angry wife standing in the doorway wondering where he's been all this time.
He looked at the snails on the steps, then he looked at her, then back at the snails and said - "Come on guys, we're almost there!"

(I know you probably don't get snails from the woods - but it fits better than from the supermarket)
