Three Beeps in closed tubs, mind you.

The evil part of me wanted wear the Boa I'd just bought like an accessory when I came back out...but I didn't.

They'd all run to the other side of the street, anyway.

Wusses.
I can understand why some people are afraid of snakes. When my mom was little (mind you she was born in1950 lol) she went to school in Oklahoma. In that time period the girls would wear dresses to school daily. Apparently there was a Cottonmouth or Rattlesnake problem in her area. A little boy thought it would be funny to pull a prank on her and drop a common Garter down her dress. She instantly fainted. To this day she despises snakes. But for a group of knuckle dragging Dukes of Hazard wannabe punks, that's just sad.
