go, joe!

harvesting dirty clothes room to room today, i encountered something entirely out of place, not in an anachronistic way, but in a...geographic and biologic way. there beneath the inside out pj shirt, next to the inside out crusted dirty sock was what looked to be a coral snake. luckily, he was right side out enabling me to properly identify the species. i was brave, handling him carefully but with absolute confidence, because beyond knowing red touching black is friend of jack however red touching yellow will kill a fellow, the knowledge even trumping that is bites from 1.5'' coral snakes made of plastic and accessories to g.i. joe vs cobra action figure sets are seldom fatal.
