I sometimes love "stupid" too much. I remember when I was at our new house, mowing the lawn for the first time (nearly an acre, with a hand/push mower :-) in my flipflops and came across a snake! I ran into the house to get my husband to come out and get/kill it and he protested, gave the (pretty good :-) excuse that it would not be there when we got back and I countered that with, we'd have to look for it, I did not want the cats to find a poisonous snake, etc. and then he said, "there are no poisonous snakes in Maryland" and I countered that with, "What?! Do they get to the State line and read a sign saying, "No snakes allowed" and turn back?"
