Are these hermit snails?

That’s okay, you’ve got an hour to duck out of here before she gets close…

I wonder how the story of the prodigal son would’ve gone if his son had been a snail.

“Well let’s just hurry on by and pretend we don’t notice.”

Ohhhhh!!! This will be a SLOOOOWWW burn!

The old shell game, eh?

No worries - you have plenty of time to change before she arrives ;)

At least she’s finally come out of her (old) shell.

I don’t understand why this is an issue for women. When I see a man wearing the same tie I am, I compliment him on his choice.

That’s what happen when you both shop at “Shell Barn.”

Drat! Should have worn my striped shell..

Imagine if men always freaked out if they saw someone else wearing blue jeans. Get a grip, women! It does NOT matter!

identical perhaps… not the same

Well, she sells sea shells by the seashore.

It hasn’t happened to me very often, but when I would encounter someone wearing the same thing, I’d say, “Love your outfit. You have great taste.”

Don’t worry, she’s but a shell of her former high-school-prime self!
