We could have used those snakes to put in Dzhohar’s cell.

53?! Ballsy perp. Tough cops. Our facility guard force in Sri Lanka were rightfully terrified of the things. Night patrols regularly encountered some big enough to rear up, and stare down on some of our smaller guys. Checks of the nighttime perimeter wire were ahem, spotty at best.

The King Cobra is the one known to chase humans I think.

In days such as these, it's good to be able to give a laugh in return for the many this place provides.

Sometimes I think the only thing preventing CWII is FR humor .. w/o the pressure relief valve of this place, the S woulda already HTF.

Cobras...still cheaper by the dozen than “The Club”—anti-car theft/steering wheel device.

“OK, Comrade, somebody has to count them for the report.”

“Can’t we just put down an estimate of how many snakes there are in the car?”

“What If Uncle Ho had acted that way?”

“Well, we’d probably be working for more than a quarter an hour in this, the a**hole of Southeast Asia.”

“Good point. Looks like 53 cobras in that car to me.”
