My sense of humour and my understanding of life's harsh realities have nothing to do with my being a snake owner. In fact, I might eb a snake owner because of those things, but definitely not vie-versa.
My sense of humour and understanding of harsh reality comes from growing up in a very tough neighborhood with 2 brothers and a mother that had a quicker wit than anyone I've ever met. We survived in 1 of 2 ways...you made your enemy laugh(or embarrassed, in some cases) or you beat them to within inches of their lives. Either way...
