FTA:

"The snake is so familiar with his son - one of four children - that it would never hurt him, he said."

Anyone dumb enough to think they can make friends with a reptile deserves the consequences.

SquirrelsOfDoom: Anyone dumb enough to think they can make friends with a reptile deserves the consequences.

The government should start up a "snake awareness" campaign, it's their responsibility to make sure that their citizens are aware of the potential dangers of snakes.

Hanging out with a python really isn't as scary or dangerous as hanging out in Phnom Penh.

there is a knock at the door. It is a snake

The lady says "If I let you in you will bite me"

Snake: "No I won't"

Lady lets the snake in. Snake bites lady.

"You said you wouldn't bite me"

snake: "lady, I'm a snake"

Khuorn Sam Ol took the snake away, releasing it in some bushes by a local river, but one morning two weeks later, found it back inside the house.

A snail walks into a bar and the barman tells him there's a strict policy about having snails in the bar and so kicks him out. A year later the same snail re-enters the bar and asks the barman "What did you do that for?"

/how the heck can a thumb sized snake be distinguished from another thumb sized snake?

Last time this story appeared on Fark the kid was 6. Are we going to be receiving updates every year until the kid either leaves home or gets eaten?

I hope so... I'm looking forward to the "11 year gets eaten by his pet python" story... Should make for a good headline.

You must walk 4 miles uptown and obtain 4 ounces of Cambodian bresat milk, when you are done with that I might be interested in some left-handed golf clubs.

Eh, I wouldn't let my own kid do it, but big snakes like that are pretty harmless if you keep them well fed. The bigger they are, the friendlier, since they have less predators to worry about. It's also very easy to read them if you've been around them for a while. I've had a python for several years and it's never bitten me.

[Eddie and Lou interrogate Moe with a lie detector.]

Eddie: Do you have a grudge against Montgomery Burns?

Moe: No. (lie detector buzzes, telling it was a lie) Alright, maybe I did. But I didn't shoot him. (lie detector dings, telling it was the truth)

Eddie: Check's out. Ok, sir, you're free to go.

Moe: Good, 'cause I have a hot date tonight. (lie dectector buzzes) A date. (lie detector buzzes) Dinner with friends. (lie detector buzzes) Dinner alone. (lie detector buzzes) Watching TV alone. (lie detector buzzes) Alright! I'm going to sit at home and ogle the ladies in the Victoria's Secret catalog. (lie detector buzzes) Sears catalog. (lie detector dings) Now, would you unhook this already, please? I don't deserve this kind of shabby treatment! (lie detector buzzes)

Yeah I couldn't find it either, which is too bad because it's one of my favourites.

On a related note, 'far side snake' is a surprisingly NSFW GIS. o_O

Frog and scorpion?

The frog asked the scorpion, "Why would you sting me?"

To this, the scorpion coolly replied, "It is my nature."

"But now we will both drown!" cried the frog as he sank into the river.

"There is one thing I haven't told you, friend: I can swim."

Why you mess with ancient proverbs ?
