Ssssss

The macramé cobra-- just the thing to add a little interest to your home décor this season.  Makes an elegant centerpiece for the fall table (particularly when placed smack-dab in front of an unwelcome dinner guest).

If cobras are a little too exotic for your taste, maybe you'll be more partial to this knitted rattlesnake scarf-- an attention-grabbing accessory if ever there was one!

Bonus:  If you have disobedient children, plant the suggestion that Mr. Snaky doesn't like noisy kids (or nose-pickers, whiners, etc. as fits the occasion) and has been known to come to life and bite naughty boys and girls.  Provides hours of amusement!
