Weblogs: Put your snake away, sir

Dave Barry's Blog: "The thing is, here in South Florida, you see guys walking around in public with snakes all the time. This is particularly true of South Miami Beach, where wearing a snake around your neck qualifies as business casual. My question is, why? Do these guys think women find snakes attractive? Has anybody ever heard a woman say, 'What I go for is a man with a big old python around his neck'?"
