Brickbat: Keep Your Snake Under Control

Gale Verhague / Dreamstime.com

Jerry Kimball said he thought it was a joke when a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, animal control officer cited him for allowing his pet snake to slither freely at a local park. "He was literally asking me to put a rope around my snake," Kimball said. Animal Control Supervisor Julie DeJong said a city ordinance requires all pets to be leashed or restrained in public.

All the ladies tell me to unleash my snake...

[Chipper Morning Wood]

Well, when it turns that deep shade of purple, it's probably time to loosen the rope and tuck it back into your fly.

Are the Animal Control Officers leashed as well? seems only fair...

[JeremyR]

Probably easier than putting a leash on a cat

[some guy]

The real problem is getting a cat to do anything after leashed other than act miserable.

[some guy]

Sir, you need to put a nope rope on that danger noodle.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Hey, look, if the snake was the only thing left for the animal control officer to use to meet his job-justification quota, he's going to use it. Every part of the buffalo, you know.

[some guy]

Putting a leash on a buffalo would do even less than putting a leash on a snake.

[Brandybuck]

I get it. North Dakota. Buffalo. You're really reaching there...

Snake owner: "I think you should put a leash on her!"
Animal control agent: "That's my wife!"
Snake owner: "Yeeesh. Hissss."

Snake: "Hey Baby, you the AC's wife?"
AC's wife: "Yes, why? Yes, I am."
Snake: "Humm, that's funny" The last time I seen you, you was with Adam."
AC's wife: No, no, its wasn't me."
Snake: "Remember when you ate the apple?"
AC's Wife: "No, no."
Snake: "It may have been a long time ago, but I never forget a face."

[Chipper Morning Wood]

Not only did she eat the apple, she ate the whole baby's arm as well. Booyah!

It could be worse - "Shirt and shoes required"

Strangely enough I couldn't find any snake leashes on Amazon.
