Cobra strike, baby

how charming

I hope he’s covered by C.O.B.R.A.

It will get you in the end.

Just look him straight in the eyes, until you faint.

This is how they test your reflexes if your insurance is COBRA.

…why are you wearing tennis shoes? We’re going on a hike!…

There might be bears!

Your not going to outrun a bear!

No, I only need to outrun you!!

This will be a true test of the Sphincter Muscle

The Doc must send a lot of referrals to a Cardiologist.

The COBRA jokes are funny. Having to pay for it, not so much….$600 per month. But if you don’t get it, even if you can’t afford it, get it anyway…..if you don’t, anything and everything you’ve complained to a doctor before is not covered for the rest of your life….

it triggers the groin-kick reflex…

My reflexes say to grab the doctor and throw him at the cobra.

Hope my doctor doesn’t use that technique next week whenI have to see him for my knee infusion.

Did you know that there’s a medical classification system for injuries? I’m sure there’s one for snake-bites, but is there a sub-classification for snake-bites in an office? (that sounds like a good movie title: Snakes in an office!)

Where’s my pet mongoose when I need him?

I prefer the hammer to the knee…at least if my reflexes aren’t what they used to be, I’m still alive!

But where’s the AED? I don’t see the AED, which would allow the snake to test the doctor’s reflexes.

He tries to help his patient and look at the fangs he gets.

If I lived I would kill the doctor….I do not like snakes.

“Needless to say, Mom doesn’t let Dad watch snake shows anymore”I had a secretary once who was so afraid of snakes that I showed her a photographof one that my husband had taken (the kind of photo you can carry around, not a computer one), and she wouldn’t speak to me for the rest of the morning.

Fangs for the memories.

@SpamGaard and SharuniboyLeft a long response back on NS 8/15. Hope you find it interesting!

hopefully the doctor’s real slow, b/c he already has a head start

lol

Asp and you shall receive.

@dukedougremember woody allen’s Banannas?

Someone who wanted to make it clear that being small and cute doesn’t mean “Please play with me”?Rattle snakes are born with working venom sacs, and can easily kill a small child.

What, no ‘asp’ ‘ass’ joke yet?

Thank you all for keeping it civil.

I contacted a cobra in a bunker in Viet Nam, he “startled” me, I shot him, beautiful snake, 12 feet long, sorta’ regretted it after. Killed one Mohave Rattlesnake that got SUPER aggressive, and wouldn’t back down. Those are the only two snakes I’ve killed, though handled thousands of them, venomous and not. Snakes are COOL (not just a pun) and people should STOP killing them in “instant fear” They’re also extremely valuable in the environment for keeping down pests, like the ones that spread Hanta virus, and other deadly diseases.

Love the snakes, despite that psychotic fear instilled in folks by the book of Genesis.

@Potrzebie

Have but one thing to say to you, sir, and that is Axolotl. Axolotl rules! You get 2nd place, only!
