Hi Jackie,
Either morality stories or an attempt to frighten, gross out or shock.
Remember the old stories like the one about the couple making out in the
car and the one armed serial killer they hear a story about on the radio.
He escaped from prison that night. Then they find the hook on the door
handle of the car. LOL.
I've never had a big problem with snakes, but I don't mess with them. I
like to see them in the zoo, however. And I got to touch a python once
when a guy brought him into work. You could feel the muscles under the
skin and could just imagine how easily a snake of that size could squeeze
a person to death.
Bill
