HARTFORD, Conn. — Police say two pet baby snakes escaped from a 20-year-old man's pants pockets as he was driving, leading to a car crash in Hartford, Connecticut.

Angel Rolon, of New Britain, allegedly lost control of his sport utility vehicle on Monday when the snakes slithered near the gas and brake pedals and he and a passenger tried to catch them.

I can't count the number of times this has happened to me.

This reminds me of the cops on the Simpson's discovering they couldn't place squirrels in their pants and place bets.

Right before the crash he panicked because he slid his hand in his pocket and there was a THIRD unexplained snake in there.

I had this happen once.

Only it wasn't baby snakes, it was two baby porpoises.

To this day, I have no idea how those porpoises got in my car and started hanging around the gas and brake pedals like that.

LOL! The last line in the FoxNews report:

Police are unsure why the snakes were in Rolon's pockets or what kind of snakes they were. Animal control officers caught the animals.

Anyone who has ever fished for striped bass extensively can probably tell a story or two about eels getting loose in their car, and eels are a much nastier probelm than baby snakes.

“Eels! They're a hoot.”

I have never been slimed mo-betta when a 4 footer I caught wrapped around my arm after I got him to hand. We nailed its head to a tree and skinned it. Then when rinsing it off in the lake it started to swim away. It was a hoot alright. Snakes on the other hand freak me out.

There are a few odd things about this story, but why is a guy who’s comfortable with snakes in his pants uncomfortable with them around his ankles? I get that even less than I get the rest of the story.

When I was 15, my buds and I were spear fishing at Laguna Beach’s Divers’ Cove (long before it became a marine preserve) when we spotted a 5’ moray cruising the reef about 30’ down. As we were watching him, another big eel joined him. Then another. And another, and so forth until is was like a scene from “Snakes on a Plane”, only with big fat moray eels. I don’t need to tell you that we were quite nervous about swimming over them.
