The government has noticed this unjust and unfair fact of life and has taken steps to correct it.

By government decree, the office of fairness has mandated that women be allowed into combat roles. This sould level out the longevity issue.

Well, he is not allowed to be around the iPad, just for that reason...he makes that thing ‘scroll’ around like crazy.

Yeah I know but I got to be 63 with the Kleenex approach so I’m pretty much okay.

Also, if he broke it somehow, ‘snake related damage’ would probably void the warranty....;]

I doubt their help-desk staff have a box to check for “snake damage,” although “destroyed by pet” might be there.

Why do men die younger than women?

Because they want some peace and quiet. ;)

“Boa breakage”?

Uh, hi.

My snake just constricted my iPad.
Can I get a tech out here?

Hello?

Alienware would answer the call, though.

I’ve had one of their techs sitting in the bedroom with an 18 pound Boa wrapped around his waist, replacing an LED screen.

Bob was playing on his climbing tree and the guy couldn’t resist his charms.

That would work out fine until the tech had to leave ... or I guess he could take Bob to his next appointment, too.

Nah...when I touched Bob on the head, he let go and slithered onto me.

Bob knows who mommy is...:)

Does that work if he’s tangled himself around the plumbing under the bathroom sink, or into the innards of the sofa bed?

I haven’t yet been to a funeral for a female friend. Twenty years ago (my mid-twenties), I’d already been to six for males.
