It looks like even the plants can kill you.

She looks cute but I don't think we're compatible, what with the venomous plants and all. Laz might care for a looksee.

I can think of some politicians who might benefit from generous exposure to this plant. We could then ask them questions and say “Answer truthfully, and we will stop the pain”. And then, after extracting as much information as possible, we could tell them, “There is no way to stop the pain”.

In some areas of our country, the term ‘Gymp’ or Gimp used to be a Non-PC way of talking about those who were crippled.

Frizzy-haired guy walking around a poisonous plant that releases its hairs into the air.
Doesn't seem smart.

Worse than the Stinging Nettles in Florida. I hate them. Coral Snakes probably rub against them for more bad ju ju.
