I’m Tired of All These Damn Snakes

I’ve heard about these giant pythons that are taking over the Everglades. I gotta say, I’ve never liked snakes, and I’m happy that we don’t have too many of them around here. I really don’t like the idea of 19-foot snakes. The whole thing creeps me out, and I don’t even live in Florida. I’ve heard of these snakes invading city apartments through the plumbing, and that idea just gives me the willies. I don’t understand the appeal of giant constricting snakes as pets. Having said that, I don’t know what the rules should be about keeping pets. And I don’t know whether all the hype about these Floridian pythons screwing up the eco-system is true. If I lived in South Florida, I’d just move.

On the other hand, maybe we could use these pythons in Herman Cain’s moat.
