• Hesher : I used to have this snake. Big fucker. I just have to feed him, once a week, I'd give him a live mouse.

  [Grandma grunts. Hesher grunts back] 

  Grandma : You know snakes. You know they're snakes because they're the right shape.

  Hesher : Huh! Well anyway, this one ate mice. And there was this one time I dropped a mouse in his cage and he got a whiff of it, so he went for him. And this mouse, got up on his hind legs and punched him in the face.

  Grandma : You're kidding?

  Hesher : Uh-uh! Happened again too. Snake went for him again. Hit him again. Snake didn't know what to do, he's gone all fucked up. Went off in the corner and cried. And that fucking mouse ruled the cage. Went on for weeks. He's just like, walked around like he owned the joint, sittin in a little lawn chair or somethin, scratchin his balls, shellin peanuts. You know, I mean like defiant.

  [grunts] 

  Hesher : I tried to feed him other mice too, but I'd drop the new mouse into the cage and he'd just hide behind the old mouse. The snake's scared shitless. He died; starved to death.

  [grunts] 

  Hesher : Cage full of mice.

  Grandma : So, is TJ the mouse?
