A Frank Conversation With A Tree Cobra.

By Emerson Kluge

Me: Whoa, you’re a tree cobra.

Cobra: Yes, I am.

Me: Damn, I’m scared shitless

Cobra: That’s the point of the hood.  I do this for any animal I think will eat me.

Me: Well, it’s working. I’m just going to back away slowly now without being threatening.

Cobra: I’d appreciate that.

Me: See you later then.

Cobra: Hopefully not.
