One of the funnnier things I've ever seen was at Bein Hoa AFB in
Vietnam. One of the fighter groups there had a Burmese Python in
captivity - guys used to visit and pull the snake out of it's cage,
drap it around their shoulders and take a picture. Proceeds went to
the fighter squadron bar fund.

One of our guys paid the money and did the snake/shoulders thing until
it bit him and started wrapping itself around. I'll give the kid
credit - he didn't panic and we got the snake off of him in short
order, but they stopped the picture deal immediately.

The snake ended up at the Museum of Natural Sciences in Raliegh, NC.


Are you sure your guy didn't bite the snake first?
