What? Snake again?

When I wake up in the morning, I'm as groggy as hell.

Linda is a bright, shining face, smiling and cheerful, always ready to tell me a long story about the dream she had.  (Her dreams are like movies, long and eventful.)  Or to present me with a complex problem she's been thinking about.

I've forbidden her to speak to me.

Anyway, I woke this morning and she came to me and looked up and said brightly, "I've cooked you a snake!"

"A...snake?"

"Wait, I mean..."

"Oh, honey.  Thank you so much.  It's what every man longs to hear when he wakes up..."
