Suzan told me a story tonight that was too fabulous not to be shared.

Friends of mine ran a pet store when I lived in Charleston. During Hurricane Hugo, they couldn't evacuate all of the animals in their store.  They knew the snakes would be okay, so long as they could get above the water level.  They turned all the snakes loose in the store, then proceeded to board up the windows and doors.  As they were finishing up, they decided to spray paint "Warning, loose snakes" on the front of the store.  They were the ONLY store in their shopping center to not get looted in the days following.  From what they could tell, no one even attempted to break in.

No words, just snickering.
