— Ace The bite from his harmless glass snake somehow puts him into a coma.
It's a strange and cruel world, where horrible calamities can befall a man when he's merely opening the cage of an innocuous glass snake.
UPDATE/CORRECTION: The snake in question was not, in fact, a harmless glass snake, but rather a lethal DEATH ADDER.
Guess he really should have seen that one coming, as it turns out.
So, you know, I guess the world isn't as strange and cruel as it seemed five seconds ago. Kind of makes a lot of sense, really.
Snakes On An Error: Ooops, there is no "garden snake." I changed it to glass snake.
It's sort of typical of me to make an error when writing a post in which a deliberate error is supposed to be the joke.
I screw up even when I'm actually trying to screw up.

(Bart, I think "garden snake" is sort of a colloquialism that refers to any kind of harmless snake. At least that's how I've always heard it used.)

He's done it before. Which word in Death Adder doesn't he understand? They should put warning labels on those things.

Though I fail to see its relevance to snakes. Perhaps that's my internal design in wool.

Chris, saying does not relate to serpent in this case. Answer is in the actual post.

A grass snake is the same as a garter (or garden, as ace likes to say) snake.
A glass snake is:
Any of several slender, limbless, snakelike lizards of the genus Ophisaurus, having a tail that breaks or snaps off readily and later regenerates.

How delightful! Let me clean this whirling airplane propeller with my tongue and then I'll join you for a snack.

We got zillions of them
And they're totally harmless, and cute!
The Death Adder, on the other hand... what was this IDIOT keeping it as a pet for? Geeze Louise!
