I only wanted a worm!

“Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”

[Qwapisking]

must be the best Margies in town.

[MtnClimber]

I hate when that happens.

[Publius]

“Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.”

I think that restaurant has bigger problems than a baby snake.

[Joe 6-pack]

One hell of a worm in that tequila!

a memorable night out

Where’s mama, and there is typically a clutch of eggs. Oddly enough signs of rats and mice are never noticed during health inspections.

Most likely an Eastern Margarita Snake.

I drank a margarita once and found a cockroach dried to the bottom of the glass. They gave me a free one so I was happy.

What’s the old Henny Youngman joke?

He asks the waiter what is a fly doing in my soup.

And the waiter replies, the backstroke.

She has not said if she plans to sue.

How much can you score from an underaged reptile?

“I left shaking, I was traumatized.”

I take it she did not adopt it as herpet.

There's got to be more where that came from.

Is the place already booked up for World Snake Day?

My wife was doing the yard on her riding mower. She came tearing around the house yelling about a snake. When she made a close pass around a tree, a snake fell out of the tree. Six foot long black racer. I think the snake was more afraid than she was. BTW, black racers are the good guys. They will kill ratlers.
