    Awkward stranger BP Convos?!?! :) This should be interesting.
    Okay this thread is for people to post awkward conversation one liners about BP's.
    Example-
    Me- yeah, I had a lazy weekend. I just "sat around on the couch and played with my balls whilst watching TV. All in all..... good weekend.

    Newly found friend-<----- (ALARMED!!! WTF) ummm.... Oh! wait! I forgot I have that... thing..... I have to do! Bye (walking away)

    Me- huh... Okay.... Ummmm.... OOOO sh$&! I was talking about my ball pythons. I own snakes!!!

    EX NEWLY found friend- no response due to large amount of distance covered over a short period of time while trying to escape a guy who he believed made a reference to his testicles as if he was talking about the Sunday football game

    lmao. This isn't a real scenario. It's just an example but I'm sure there are people out there who have some funny stories, and if not stories some funny BP reference one liners. Let me hear em!!!! :)

    Hahaha! In a crowded room you should respond "O! They are getting massive! And the colors? Just incredible!" This will throw people off. :)

    Actual snippet of a conversation with a neighbor: " I love my hubby, he's a great guy. I just wish he wasn't so jealous." Neighbor asks, " jealous? why does he think you are sneaking around?" Me: " No no, nothing like that, he's just jealous my balls are so much bigger than his. He thinks it's not fair." Neighbor gives me 30 second blank stare, then clears her throat nervously as she is struggling to think of what to say. I quickly realize my massive goof, and try to repair the damage. " No, I didn't mean anything like that! We both raise snakes! Ball pythons! I got started collecting early, and so mine are bigger than his are."

    At this point, neighbor decided she liked the idea of my having male parts better than the idea of my having snakes, and turns around to go back home. I guess I should have let her think I was a she-male.

    I used to be the only female designer at a company I worked at. We were taking about tattoos and I made the comment "I think my next tattoo will be one of my balls." Awkward silence followed by fits of laughter.

    I talked about my female ball before... That one was on accident.
    Me speaking loudly in a store for a friend to come hold balls was not. :rofl:
    Also told a friend I want two balls and a boa. It took her a second to remember I love snakes.

    Me going over my to do list for the evening: "I need pick up a few things, get home, set the rats out for dinner, and then do some laundry.
    Coworker: <blink...blink...blink> Huh?!
    Me: <eyeroll>
    Coworker: Oh!!!! Yeah!!! You have snakes. I thought at first the rats were going to be YOUR dinner.

    Strangers standing all around just staring at me like I'm psychotic as I work at a very busy Wal-Mart and nothing that gets said goes unnoticed.

    That was today right before I went home. Things like this tend to happen at least once a month despite everyone knowing I have snakes. Though I must admit when one of my managers (a big, 6'4" professional trainer) squealed like a little girl in fear when I showed him a picture of one of my babies, it makes it all worth it. ;)

    if you dont like these awkward moments just call them royal pythons :)


    however, if you DO like these awkward moments, you could add to the confusion by adding truck nuts / bumper bullocks to your vehicle.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truck_nuts

    then, once people around you finally understood that you have a ball python collection, you can drop lines like...

    "driving around on rainy days makes my balls look really dirty"
    or...
    "yesterday a stone or something hit my balls as i was driving on the freeway, now they are all splintery, i guess i have to get new ones".

    "I have three racks full of balls....but the one in the middle is quite a bit smaller than the other two. That one is reserved for the really big balls. :D

    Yeah well... When I first got my ball pythons I posted pictures on facebook. Next day at work I asked my coworkers "Hey did you see my balls?"
    Response, "Did I see your balls?" in that unsure/weirded out tone
    Me, "Yeah, my ball pythons!"

    Uuuuughhhhhh I wish I had more snakes so more stuff like this came up in conversation for me! This stuff is gold. Lol

    You should have just added to the confusion and tossed in" oh yeah! He's giving me a few baby's to raise and breed!" Lmao

    We call our snakes our "kids" or "children" a lot of the time, so at work:

    "Our kids are doing great! We think one of them is pregnant! We will have to wait and see who the father was though."
