they not only attract students, but, also renters for section-8 housing.

And by the way, I'm not joking. I used to do shows at outdoor ed camps years ago where they knew of my background in service, so I'd have the kids spend an hour catching and picking stuff, bring it back, and I'd show them what was edicle and how to eat it. One kid caught a milk snake, about 2 1/2 feet, and the way he and his friends had done it, I could tell it's back was broken in a dozen places and it was going to die. So I said, "Now if you catch a snake, you don't want to crush it's head with a rock, because that makes it hard to skin, so you..."and I took the snake's head in my mouth, bit it off at the neck, and spit it on the ground in front of the ring of kids, who shrunk back considerably with eyes as big as silver dollars. What the hell, it was a quick death for a suffering animal. So I showed them how you roll back the skin like taking a sock off inside/out, gutted it with my thumb, and with nothing but backbone and ribs, writhing like it was alive, nibbled some meat off with my front teeth, then held it out to them. There were like 18 kids in the group, and EVERY ONE OF THEM tried it, voluntarily. Today kids would pass out, vomit, and call PETA.

I had several severe head traumas when young (Thanks, Mom!!!)leaving me with disinhibition- I'm likely to say or do anything that comes to mind. Used to be dangerous and obnoxious, learned to put it to good use with humor and expressions of love. I have to let stuff out, so it might as well do some good rather than making me sound like a severe Tourette's sufferer.Might be why I have some of the longest posts on here.

Oh it's ok. I am just known as being crazy. People either learn to leave me alone or I lick their nose. Ok not really..lol you see some people's noses?
But I never once bit a snakes head off. Don't worry about long post. I ramble all the time. Kinda like leaving your turn signal on. I think a certain age it becomes a right, ya know like a passage.

I had..well I still have him, an older brother, he was always hitting me over the head.
