There was a bizarre movie that came out a few years ago about a couple dozen snakes that got lose on an airplane. I never watched that whole movie – it seemed pretty lame for a storyline and I am not even creeped out about snakes anyway. Some people act so fucking crazy when they see any snake or bug or anything unusual.

But I came to think of this movie because I was listening to some guys who run an airport while sitting at a table next to them at lunch. They were having a big laugh about some guy who flew his small plan into that airport and left it there for a couple of days. Then when he came back to fly it home, he took off from their small field but almost immediately called back to the tower and said he had an emergency.

Turns out that while that guy left his plane for a couple of days at the field, that a snake had come into his plane and made a home inside the plane’s dashboard. When he took off the snake was disturbed and came out from behind the dashboard and tried to get out of the plane. The dumb fuck was screaming into the radio “Emergency! Emergency!” and he turned it around and landed, got out of the plane as fast as he could, and threw himself down on the ground scared to death.

I don’t know what the fuck I would do if a snake came crawling out of a dashboard, but I don’t think I would be screaming like a little girl and shitting myself. What a putz!
