Then he'd have the person stand in front of a two-way mirror looking into the room where a friend of theirs was holding a snake.
We drove past my old high school: there were bars on the windows where there hadn't been before I went to prison, armed uniformed guards out front where be-fore there'd been old-lady hall monitors with whistles, and I imagined that the bars and the guards were there to protect the students from me and not some teenage crazy in a trench coat stuffed with home-made ordnance.
If you put a 2-pound box of Cheez-Its in front of me, I'd probably eat them all.
