Snakes on a Piper?

Wes from the Catskills (like lounging on the TV and looking at me with utter contempt?) sent me a link to this story:

Monty Coles was 3,000 feet in the air when he discovered a stowaway peeking out at him from the plane’s instrument panel — a 4 1/2-foot black snake.

An attempt to swat the snake only resulted in it falling to Coles’ feet under the rudder pedals. It then darted to the other side of the cockpit.

No, no, no my good man. Swatting at the reptile is not the appropriate response to your discovery. A simply exclamation will do nicely. Class? Tell him what he should have done.

Update: Tim sent me a link to this story as well, but unfortunately used my SoSF addy which I don’t check as often.
