You know I grew up where we still had free range cattle, I killed three
rattle snakes inside my mom's kitchen before I found the hole they were
coming in, and my first job out of high school was maintaining drip
irrigation where the city slicker who owned the place wouldn't let us
kill rattlers we found sleeping under a leaking pressure cap.  We had to
scoop them up with a shovel and fling them over the fence.  All that and
I never set a tortoise on a post, and I never tipped a cow.  Those sound
more like dude tricks.
