Do You Freakin' See This?

Do You Freakin' See This?

This is why I hate the friggin' interweb. Because it justifies Every Single Irrational Fear That My Beleaguered Mind Can Create!

Current justified irrational fear? That I'll sit down on the toilet, and a snake will crawl out of the pipes and bite me on my junk.

Actually, I blame the media for this. It actually happened on an episode of Highway to Heaven. I don't remember the exact circumstances (the stresses of the situation having been too much for me), but there's somebody who keeps saying there's a snake in the toilet, and nobody believes her. And then the guy who travels with Michael Landon...you know, the one with the Oakland A's cap...he finds the snake in the toilet.

Thusly, a lifetime of irrational junk-biting phobia is induced.

Well, Thank You Australia for justifying this.

An Australian wildlife worker pulled a 7-foot python out of a septic tank Wednesday after a plumber found it hiding in a woman's toilet, officials said.

Peter Phillips, a wildlife officer for the Northern Territory's Parks and Wildlife Service, was called to remove the snake after a plumber who was fixing the blocked toilet discovered it curled in the pipes.

I don't have much else to say except that I wish the show Highway to Heaven had ended with Michael's friend taking off the A's hat, and putting on an Angels cap.

Or even better, a New York Yankees cap, thus revealing that he's been the Devil's Advocate on Michael's whole journey to heaven.
