Ain't he sweet

Michael (kissing me): Good thing we're not snakes.
Me: Why?
Michael: Well, you know what happens when two snakes get this close. And I'm bigger than you.

Ha, ha. This refers to a rather gruesome fact that I mention from time to time, because it fascinates me so much: snakes' mouths only work one direction, because their teeth can't go backwards. So when two snakes happen to start eating the same rabbit or shrew, the larger snake will always have to end up eating the smaller one, because neither can disengage its jaws.
