    Makes me want to buy more shirts with rattlesnakes on them. People are such wusses...they can't even handle a picture of a snake!? Geez...

    I was like it is a picture people. Not a real snake. A picture. Le sigh.

    Honestly, many (!) years ago, long before I got into snakes, I worked with a guy who was reading the newspaper on the job (it was a slow night at work) & all of a sudden he yelled & threw down the paper, insisting
    that we tear out the picture of a snake. Bit of a "melt-down", & we're talking about a black & white image, & not even that big...certainly didn't take up much of the page. Thought I'd seen "everything"...

    I am sorry but That shouldn’t be that funny. My uncle is terrified of them. He can’t want them on television. But on a shirt or publication is not that bad.

    Sheesh. I don't even know what to say to this one...

    I guess if it came down to changing the shirt or missing my flight I'd just change the shirt, but I don't know. I might raise a stink and miss my flight just on principle, especially if it was my Gadsden Flag "Don't Tread on Me" tee, hahahaha!!!

    That'll be the day somebody tells me what I can and can't wear based on an inoffensive logo. I could see it if it was inappropriate due to vulgar content or words, but an image of an animal???? Come the heck on!!!! Wouldn't happen if it was a panda, or a puppy.....

    Interestingly I would guarantee that they would never ask someone with a t-shirt with a dog on it to turn it inside out, yet statically there am more people who have negative or even traumatic encounters with dogs than snakes.
