Lio by Mark Tatulli for August 31, 2018

a rattlesnake enamored with a garden hose… how embarrassing

What are friends for, if not to remind you of your indiscretions?!

How quaint, the snake’s ashamed of getting hosed.

Caesar would have had to change his famous quote, ‘Eh, tube, Brute’??

That made me remember the case of a swan who fell for a swan shaped pedal boat – even though it was ten times larger than him.

Who can blame a guy? That is a mighty attractive hose!

Don’t get him too rattled, Lio.

don’t rib him too bad, Lio. He may show you that he’s part anaconda!

There’s a part of the zoo where there’s a pile of black watering hose piled up in the bushes. My mom told my young brother that there was a snake in the bushes, and my brother jumped.

Several years ago my wife gave me an Anniversary card with a very similar theme.

Pipe dreams…..

Cute.

We’re not amused.

Frankie is not amused. It was a not-so-innocent mistake, after all. So,chill, Lio!
