    It was still alive, and slithered and squirmed on the surgical table.

    Great.

    The man’s only recollection of a possible exposure was eating raw snake meat during military service 50 years prior.

        It’s not hazing. I’ll bet it was during the Cobra Gold exercise, during which Thailand hosts various militaries including the US Marines. Part of the training traded is survival skills specific to the jungle environments Thailand provides, which includes eating of animals, dead or alive. Spiders, scorpions, snakes… one of the traditional hallmarks being the drinking of cobra blood as an alternative to being able to find clean water.

    Sounds like he drinks unboiled lake/river water. Gross.

            Korean Ratatouille is a KDrama that involves the mystery of “Who left this giant green and purple turd on the table?”

            (if you know what KDrama that’s actually from I’ve been wondering for years)
