My neighbor across the street is terrified of snakes, although she's good natured about it. Once she asked me if it might escape its tank, crawl out of my house, across the street, into her house, and strangle her in her sleep. She was sort of laughing as she asked, you know like, "Ha-Ha, i'm asking a silly hyperbolic question" I laughed along with her, but then she totally pressed me for an honest answer.
