This might be the funniest thing I’ve seen in a quite a long time. Hats off to my Baton Rouge pal, and occasional Good Egg, Eddie Manes, for this indubitable and delightful solution to my snake “problem”. Thanks for sharing the laughs, Edward.

Note A: I had several neighbors who, while walking by or riding past on their bicycles, stopped in quizzical observation of the skeletal detritus amid 19th Street. They inevitably asked me, since the spring weather lured us all outdoors (eerily reminiscent of reptiles), about the snake carcasses lying in the street. I just shrugged my shoulders and pretended to be as perplexed as they were. You’d think I was well-versed in Parseltongue with an attitude like that.

Note B: Observe the striking change in skin tones from my hands to my feet. Oh, what charm.
