Look out for a lean, chain smoking, bad tempered middle-aged blonde. I've got an ex that lives in Port St. Lucie who drinks coral snake venom with a Budweiser chaser. She's the only thing stopping pythons from advancing north of Palm Beach County.

I've been told she drives out to Belle Glade once a week, stands in the bed of her truck, waving a cane knife, banging on a drum, and stares the beasts down until they slither back south. She's not a woman to trifle with.

Good for her. Put a thank you note from me in with the next alimony check.
And you left out a key piece of information - is she nekkid when she stands in the truck bed?
(That could be either a good thing or a bad thing)  ;D

Alimony? What's that?
