The New Yorker this ain't, but we do have a caption contest
What better way to start 2009 than with a caption competition?
What is the slug saying to the snail, or vice versa, in the pic below?* Keep it clean, or at least legal, please. Writer of the best (as judged by me) caption posted in the next seven days gets whatever flotsam and jetsam is lying around my desk at work right now - probably a book on giant marrows, or somesuch.
UPDATE: I've decided the winner has to be Emma of the Alternative Kitchen Garden podcast. Some garden books will be winging their way to her.
*Footnote on the picture: this was taken on the lawn at my old place not long before we scarpered. Just shows how skilled I am at lawncare - and indeed pest control, as there's a lot more slime in this shot than blades of grass.
"Don't look at me like that. You'd have filled up at the All-You-Can-Eat buffet too, if you weren't too vain to wear your baggier shell when we go out."

Snail: "Which way to Jane's new place?"
Slug: "Follow me!"

"This is certainly a Gastropod Garden isn't it," said the snail to the slug

"I'm telling you, the new folk have opened a pub. Fancy a drink?"

Snail: 'Yes, your bum does look big in that'

I know you're not my Mum but please can I have a piggyback?

Snail: "15 Cabbage Row please driver."

Snail: Oooh, yes, that's hit the spot. That's exactly where the itch is. Now just scratch it for me pleeeeeaaaase.
