Of course. Never heard it before. :p
There's one riddle that you won't be able to figure out, though.

COOKIES IF YOU GET IT.

One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day that snail heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he says to it, 'The fuck's your problem?'

Erm....I'm guessing:
The guy telling the joke was all drugged out on cocaine, therefore you have to be drugged out on cocaine to understand the joke

Okay, the answer.

The man represents the streets.
The snail represents just another random person falling victim to the streets.
The size difference between the two represents how big 'the streets' are and how small we are.
So this big guy kicks this little tiny helpless snail and breaks his shell showing how easy it is for the streets to tear you up.

I think the joke means that street life will run you over and totally just tear you in pieces and won't even remember (or care) the next second. You're just another victim (a tiny snail in the way). So no matter who you are or what you've been through, in the streets, you're just another person.
So when the snail healed and came back, the man (the streets) didn't give him any respect whatsoever because he doesn't care.
I think the riddle's main meaning was:
The streets will tear you up and not think twice.
And don't expect any respect in the street regardless of who you are or what you've been through.

So there wasn't an answer after all?
