Is That A Boa Constrictor In Your Pocket?

Or are you just happy you stole the snake? A woman in Michigan has absconded with a 20-inch boa constrictor using the simple expedient  of hiding the reptile in her pants.

LANSING, Mich. – A woman stole a boa constrictor from a pet store by slipping the snake down her pants, the owner said. The animal was stolen Thursday afternoon from Preuss Animal House in Lansing.

I can promise you that the thief was not my wife. There is no way she would even consider getting that close to a snake. But I di have to show her this article.

On second thought, I'd probably be wise not to.
