The Tale of Two Snakes

Two cities, two snakes, two dilemmas.

Back in the beginning of January, Melissa Moorehouse was riding the Transit Train in Boston just like many other individuals who use this type of travel.  What sets her apart, though, is the fact that she had a three foot Boa around her neck and was taking the daily commute like it was no biggie.  Personally, if I stepped foot on that train I’d ask her what the hell she is doing and then run to the farthest car down the line.  However, I wasn’t there and Penelope was a “well-trained” snake so this was normal activity for the two.  Unfortunately, on this day Penelope decided to “hot-foot it” and be one with nature just like she was suppose to be.  For her, nature turned out to be a crappy, dirty, rancid train car that hundreds, if not thousands of people take every day. The train shut down for awhile as workers scrambled to find the Boa, but this was to no avail.  Thankfully, Boa’s are not poisonous and train travel continued like normal for a month until she was found and rescued by her owner.  Not that big of a deal, right?  Well how about this…

THERE IS A F****** COBRA ON THE LOOSE IN NYC!

And yes, I do mean on the loose.  The deadly Egyptian cobra, which escaped from an off-exhibit reptile house at the Bronx Zoo, is apparently “contained” in the small, dark building.  Yeah, I believe that for a second; you guys can’t even keep track of the dude in his cage so how am I suppose to believe he’s just hangin’ out right next to his former home.  Did I mention the snake is so deadly it can kill a full-grown elephant in three hours and a human being in 15 minutes? Whoa.  I’m no snake pro, but the chances that the city has spare cobra anti-venom every other block is slim to none.  Even if they did, getting that poor soul who was bit by this thing the anti-venom in NYC traffic in under 15 minutes is literally impossible.

Which one of these guys would you rather face-off with?
