We understand that many people who don't speak American as a first language are trying to change their heathen, sinful ways and so we show patience with their lack of writing ability. If we weren't so filled with the love of Christ, I'm sure we'd be a lot less tolerant.
However, people who claim to be highly educated, like that banned feminazi, are open game if their written American leaves a lot to be desired.

Fondest wishes for your daughter on such a big day. I'm sure it will be a proud moment for all and will create memories that will last a lifetime. If I wasn't 4,000 miles from Des Moines I'd take my family to the occasion. We'll be sure to get a card in the mail soon.

Beware the most venomous snake in the world!

NAME: "Expecteria Trouserius" (Trouser Snake)



HABITAT: World-wide. Usually found in bedrooms, but has been known to appear in the most unusual places.

DESCRIPTION: Varying from pale pink to black. Blind and fangless, with a highly venomous spit. Size varies from 3 to 12 inches, depending on its mood and subspecies


SYMPTOMS: This snake attacks mainly females (although a subgroup reacts only to males) in the lower front abdomen, resulting in an inconspicuous bump. Then, a severe swelling, followed by excruciating pain after nine months. The attack is not usually fatal.

ANTIDOTE: Various types of vaccines available for women. However, once the venom is injected into the body, only drastic measures will ensure complete recovery. There is no known antidote for men.


WHAT TO DO WHEN ATTACKED:

TORNIQUET: Do not apply a tourniquet, as the venom is too deep in the body to be affected. CUTTING THE WOUND: This would be completely unnecessary and ineffective as the bleeding will stop after a few weeks anyhow.
SUCKING THE WOUND: This method is the most popular with the victim, but so far has not been reported to have led to any success.
MILKING THE SNAKE:

1. Place 4 fingers of the right hand around the neck of the reptile, with the thumb in the front.
2. Grip firmly and move the hand in an upwards and downwards motion.
3. This will result in the snake becoming highly aggressive and start spitting.
4. The time taken for this milking process depends entirely on the skill of the milker and the last time the snake attacked.
5. Once milked, the snake should be harmless for about 20 minutes.

CONCLUSION: This snake, although very aggressive and active, is not necessarily vermin and treated with the right respect makes a wonderful pet.
