    There must be an easier way to get rid of snails in the lawn!

    Reminds me of the snail that wanted a car to drive around, so he went to Chrysler and ordered a specially fitted “K-car” that a snail could drive. Only he called it an ‘S-car’ for Snail

    He was racing around in the garden when another snail looked at him and exclaimed: (Wait for it!) “Look at that S-car go!”

    I agree on both counts at least 50 years ago and aerating the soil but do not get the joke part I can see him putting it on the dog and tossing a ball around so the dog will chase it

    Yes, those are still around and it’s to aerate the lawn.

    Believe me, after the summer we’ve had his lawn will be more moss than grass and need spiking.

    GUYS! I KNOW THAT!

    But I couldn’t make the S-Car go joke about aerating the lawn!

    I don’t know how they would have worked that joke fifty years ago (and I could have heard it too back then BUT I DIDN’T until the K-car came out!) because a car with a letter name like the K-car that could be morphed into an S-car didn’t exist back then.
