You should toss down a black Dunes chip and the snake will say: "Sssssuch a niccccce chip! Got any more?"

You then say, "Sure, look in the bucket."

Snake crawls in and goes: "Sssstinker! Isssss nossssing in here!"

Jam on the lid and away he goes. To some decent place like Yates Well.

It was windy in Temescal Canyon yesssterday when I went to Pechanga. Remember, folks, use your barbecue tongs for something more important than a ssssserpent.
