#37: snakes? no thank you

I hate snakes, always have. Nothing scares and disgusts me as much as these reptiles do. My friend Marc tried to coax me to watch the new movie "Snakes on a Plane". I think my response was, "Are you kiddin' me? No way, not even if you bribe me".

So imagine my sense of relief when I read this in the NY Times yesterday. It proves that I am not a freak, but that my fear is a primal response. It has nothing to do with "being chicken"!! I stand vindicated. Phew. Now I can go back to clipping pages of the National Geographic that could even remotely have a photo of these slithering creatures. Anything to avoid staring into one of their kind.
