The only joke I’ve ever loved

A farmer hears a knock at his door late one winter’s night. He opens his door, looks around, looks down and there, at his doorstep, is a snail. The snail says, “Can I come in, I’m really coooooold?”

The Farmer says, “No, get outta here, snail,” and kicks him across the garden.

Spring comes, then summer, then fall — before you know it, it’s winter again. The farmer hears a knock on his door. He opens the door, looks down and sees the same snail, who says, “What’d you do that for?!”
