ha! see how far you'll get! I've got the key to the weapons locker!

Don't need weapons.

We just need to come up with a good scheme.

All it took was one stick of dynamite in a single terrorist's butt to force the entire country to get a pat on the bottom and their junk squeezed.

I've been there! Yes, I have!

While build Baby's "Crib" in the garage, I took a moment to lean over to kiss her on the neck, and she leaped up and bit me just like the fellow in the picture. I guess she thought I was trying to bite her.

Reminds me of a poem I read last night from "Strong is Your Hold" - Galway Kinnel.

http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/...-in-love/5106/

Everyone Was In Love

By Galway Kinnell

One day, when they were little, Maud and Fergus
appeared in the doorway, naked and mirthful,
with a dozen long garter snakes draped over
each of them like brand-new clothes.
Snake tails dangled down their backs,
and snake foreparts in various lengths
fell over their fronts, heads raised
and swaying, alert as cobras. They writhed their dry skins
upon each other, as snakes like doing
in lovemaking, with the added novelty
of caressing soft, smooth, moist human skin.
Maud and Fergus were deliciously pleased with themselves.
The snakes seemed to be tickled too.
We were enchanted. Everyone was in love.
Then Maud drew down off Fergus’s shoulder,
as off a tie rack, a peculiarly
lumpy snake and told me to look inside.
Inside that double-hinged jaw, a frog’s green
webbed hind feet were being drawn,
like a diver’s, very slowly as if into deepest waters.
Perhaps thinking I might be considering rescue,
Maud said, “Don’t. Frog is already elsewhere.”

Snakes do that! I know a guy who was in the shower being annoyed by a frog that would not shut up. As he raised his hand across to move the frog outside, he noticed that it was only the front half of a frog. The back half was a deadly brown snake!

Years ago I read in a book by a herpetologist of a practical joke gone horribly wrong. A man and his friend came across a black mamba and killed it. Then for a joke, they placed the dead serpent in the man's bed and waited for the man's wife to come home. She returned, entered the bedroom, and they waited outside for the fun to ensue. After a short period of time, when no screams came, they became curious and entered the bedroom. There on the floor lay his dead wife, and beside the body was a very much alive male mamba who had smelled the dead female mamba's scent and entered the house to mate with it.
