> Ok, you talked me into it. Here is my snake story once

> We have an empty field next to our house. The kids, when they

> keep them as pets. So we buy these glass aquariums with a screen
> top on them. The screens fit very tightly around the top so there
> was no way the snakes could get out but they did. I couldn't
> believe a snake could squeeze under those tight fitting frames but
> day after day, they kept getting out. So, I took some duct tape

> stopped getting out. So one day, after the snakes got out again,
> I had given up trying to keep them pinned, I told the kids to
> catch them and let them go in the field. They caught all but one.
> He kept going under our stairs leading down into the basement and
> we couldn't catch him.
>
> A week later, Sandy and I were talking and she said, "That
> snake couldn't come upstairs, could he?" I said no because I
> figured he couldn't climb stairs. Wrong again.

> I was working out in my office and my mom came over. She
> would have been in her sixties about this time. After she did a
> couple of things for me, she said, "I'm going to leave now but I
> am going to use your bathroom before I go." I said, ok, and went
> back to what I was doing. A couple of minutes later, I heard my
> mother yelling my name and footsteps pounding across the living
> room and dining room. I went running in to see what was wrong
> with mom. She explained that she went in to the bathroom to do
> her thing, sort of speak, and all of the sudden, a garden snake
> came out from behind the toilet. I called my youngest son into
> the house and told him to go catch his snake and put him outside.
> Just think. All that week that snake was loose, he could have
> come up stairs during the night and gotten in bed with me and
> Sandy. Wouldn't that have been fun?
