I killed a snake with a sword once. Never knew that kind of stuff could get me into a beauty pageant, though.

Miss Snake Charmer? I don’t know much about charming snakes, but I’d think cutting off their heads would be the wrong way to go about it.

I like snakes. I like snakes more than some people. Are they sure mass killing is necessary? Even if it is, ugh.
