154 Pounds Of Shish-Kebab

The Ankara Zoo misplaced a star attraction - the 20 foot long, 154 pound PYTHON.

(Ah, FaithfulReaders, it has been SO long since we had a good snake tale, huh?)

Obviously, Agriculture Minister Mehdi Eker, whose ministry is responsible for the zoo, has not been reading my blog.

In an effort to calm local residents, Eker said:

The python is not poisonous. Moreover, it only eats mice and rabbits.

Or cats. Or Alligators. Etc, etc.

And speaking of eating, what is Mr. Eker’s biggest concern with the missing exhibit?

My biggest concern is the possibility that the python might have become shish-kebab. I advise citizens not to eat shish kebab until the python is found.

Allrighty then. That’s gonna be one LOOOONG skewer…
