They have a habit of burrowing into coconuts which are then carried westward by migrating African (not European) swallows until they arrive at Ellis Island, where their previous five years’ social media history is scrupulously examined. To date no Giant African Snail (GAS) has ever been refused entry to the USA. This is because they can’t type, being slimy and without fingerage, so they have no social media history; and the borderland security goons can’t stand the slime in the keyboards. The presence of snails in the swallow-borne coconuts does not in any way affect their airspeed velocity. >>> A pair of Giant African Snails chilling out after a rainy night. >>> >>> https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/55016880966/ -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
