Re: Giant python swallows... deer whole

Whoa, are we sure... that was a deer the python swallowed?

I didn't see that coming... did you, Kermit?

Well, it could have been... worse?

Worse? How in the world could it... have been worse, Gonzo?

It could have swallowed... my 76 pound chicken!

All this fuss over a python swallowing a deer... and a pig--

I... agree!

There will... be blood!

Nobody will pay any attention until the first Human disappears.

And then the first child.

A friend driving a VW ran over a python which was stretched across a country road in Thailand. Both the head and tail reacted and whanged both sides of the car at once, denting both doors. My friend claimed he lost ten years of his lifespan on that one.

Your ENP at work again. At least we are allowed to kill these snakes. Crocodiles,man eaters of course, are protected. Don’t get me started with the Everglades National Park and its history.They are all left wing liars for years now.

Well, had he been insured with us... we'd have fixed both doors and given him an extra ten years of life!

Well, if we'd been his insurer... we'd have fixed both doors, given him an extra ten years of life and a warm muffin with jam on it!

Really? If he had been insured with us... we'd have fixed both doors, given him an extra ten years of life, a warm muffin with jam on it, two extra hands and the DVDs of the first 5 seasons of "24" to boot!

If he had been one of our insured, we have replaced his car with an autoboathomeopter... plus given him an extra ten years of life, a warm muffin with jam on it, two extra hands, the complete DVD set of "24" and a 4 year scholarship to Farmers University!

That's all... an autoboathomeopter plus given him an extra ten years of life, a warm muffin with jam on it, two extra hands, the complete DVD set of "24" and a 4 year scholarship to Farmers University?

We'll throw in a night of pure passion with this sexy, young lady guaranteed... because if she's doesn't, we let the rock fall!

I love TV commercials... because they are such a real slice of American live nowadays!

What is even more amazing than the snake’s ability to consume such a large animal is how rapidly it digestd it. The snake’s stomach is SO acidic that 95% of the deer ..that included bones, skin, hooves..will be GONE in 3 days
