The tale of Sam the snail

Sam was a snail. But he wasn’t your ordinary garden-variety snail. No Sam was special. Sam was unique. Because Sam was the world’s first and only snail who was also an automotive engineer. And he was an excellent automotive engineer, overcoming the natural limitations that a snail would face as an automotive engineer. True workplace diversity in action as Sam put to shame people who treated snails and slugs as slimy creatures

It was always Sam’s dream to be the first snail to create a production automobile. He begged and pleaded with his boss, the Director of Automotive Design, to be given responsibility to lead the design of a new automobile. Despite Sam's obvious abilities, Sam's boss was skeptical that a snail could really lead a design team. Finally, after much cajoling and complaints of snail discrimination, the Director finally relented and gave Sam responsibility to lead the design of a new performance automobile, the Model “S”, so dubbed to honor Sam.

Sam was so proud and happy. Of course, being a snail, he naturally moved more slowly, so he worked extra long hours to compensate. He dedicated his life to the project. It totally consumed him and became the only thing in his existence. He grew prouder and prouder as the design progressed toward a working vehicle, with an impressive engine and well-tuned suspension and handling. His boss was also impressed, and even the company’s Chief Engineer grudgingly acknowledged Sam’s success. And everyone agreed the car was a thing of beauty as well, sleek and well-proportioned with little touches and subtleties that gave it a stylish presence. Sam's engineering prowess was known, but people had to admit they had no idea a snail could have such stylistic talent as well.

Finally, the day came to put the car on the test track to see what it could do. The car was parked for measurements and observations before the testing. Sam’s boss and the Chief Engineer were there as well. They oohed and aahed at how stylish and wonderful the car looked. The Chief Engineer was so excited, saying it was going to be a beautiful to vehicle to add to the company's line of cars if it passed tests.

After all his work on the project, everyone agreed that Sam should be the one to give the car its initial test run. Sam took the car out and it performed well in the initial runs. Sam’s boss was getting more and more excited, and the Chief Engineer was even getting into it. Then Sam took it up a notch, and the car performed flawlessly during the more demanding runs.

Sam’s boss and the Chief Engineer stood up and applauded. Sam’s boss beamed and said, “Isn't that great? The car is performing perfectly.” The Chief Engineer said, “Yes that was very impressive! Sam is amazing”.

And as Sam whizzed past them on the last lap, setting a new time record for the course, the Chief Engineer pointed at Sam then turned to Sam’s boss and exclaimed, “So beautiful. Total beauty! Just look at that luscious S Car go!”
