I used to have a friend from Nepal, Real nice gal, got along with her great, except she loved pulling my leg. She'd sit there over coffee chattering at ten thousand words a minute soundin' like a chimpanzee on meth and l would just sit there with a big dumb a$$ blank look on my face nodding and pretending I understood her. She'd start in "You don't understand a word I'm saying, do you?'
Me: smiling politely nodding dumbly
Her: you are a big dummy...you have no clue do you?
Me: nodding like an imbecile and smiling politely
Her: cracking up in hysterical laughter with my wife (my wife understood her)
Me: politely laughing right along....
In my own defense I was raised in the South where folks talk a bit slower, and I shot many thousands of rounds in my youth when I was too cool to wear ear protection...
Anyhoo....one night after we'd had a couple of drinks she mentioned flying snakes in Nepal, to which I called BS. but then she INSISTED they were real, and lived in areas with dense vegetation?? My buddies and I still called BS, and laughed our fool head off for a half hour, talking about snakes with wings, but she kept insisting they were real, they glided like flying squirrels from tree to tree. I still mostly think my friend was pulling my leg, but...there's that inkling of doubt...
So, tell me....
Are there flying snakes in Nepal??
