The Element of Surprise: So Here's The Plan...

"I'll hide out here in this crack, until Becky comes around with the weedwhacker, then I'll jump out and scare the crap out of her."




So here's a typical day at my house. I slather myself with Deep Woods Off, and Absorbine Jr., get my gardening gloves (or weed whacker) out, and innocently head to the flower beds for some manicuring. This is soon followed by a shrill "AAaaaaaah, Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, @$%&*$! snakes".

Never fails. I hate the slithering, I hate the surprise, and I'm sure the neighbors are used to it by now. I try to get over my fear, but even on the riding mower, I throw my legs up on the top of the engine and scream. Did I mention how much I hate snakes?
