I do not usually like to copy and paste, but this I could not resist.
Makes me wonder how I would react. I am not a fan of snakes.


Pilot Fights Black Snake Stowaway on Plane
Friday, June 02, 2006

You know the old saying, "it is more afraid of you, than you are of them?"

That applies in the case of a black snake. They are about as dangerous as a
hamster.

Still, I understand the fear that some people have about snakes.

Personally, I don't care what color the snake is I'm sqwaking 7500 and
running after I land.

I had an incident with a couple of wasps in my car that was probably more
dangerous than
a snake in a plane.
Almost totaled my car trying to keep them away from my face.

crawls on my
neck or leg where I can't see what it is.

P.S. Just kidding about the 7500 so don't bother responding negatively about
it.

Yeah, as a carpenter, it is sometimes hard to remember that trying to
"run-away" from insects, of the stinging variety, will be much more painful
than moving away at a slow pace....

while you are on a scaffold board 25 feet in the air, working on an old
