More Than a Mouthful

When I was much younger, somewhere less than 10 years old (if I remember correctly), my uncle had a pet snake. I hate snakes, then and today, and didn't want to have anything to do with it. But I do have a vague recollection of once or twice watching him drop a live mouse into the tank to feed the snake.

I never saw anything like this: the lunch becomes the... uh, luncher.

I think if I ever had seen something like that at that age, I'd be more terrified of mice today than I am of snakes.

AS a former snake owner I have to ask, what retard put that mouse in with that snake?

Hmm, my 3 month old puppy looks hungry, I'm going to drop a fully grown cow in the kennel with him. What could possibly go wrong?
