I'm sorry, Budd. That was rude of me, wasn't it?
[Budd continues to groan quietly]
Budd, I'd like to introduce my friend, the black mamba.
Black mamba, this is Budd.
You know, before I picked that little fella up,
I looked him up on the Internet.
Fascinating creature, the black mamba.
Listen to this...
"In Africa, the saying goes..."
""In the bush, an elephant can kill you, a leopard
can kill you, and a black mamba can kill you.""
"But only with the mamba - and this has been
true in Africa since the dawn of time - is death sure."
"Hence, its handle - "Death Incarnate"."
Pretty cool, huh?
"Its neurotoxic venom is one of
nature's most effective poisons,"
"acting on the nervous system, causing paralysis."
"The venom of a black mamba can kill a human being
in four hours if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb."
"However..."
"A bite to the face or torso can bring
death from paralysis within 20 minutes."
Now you should listen to this 'cause this concerns you.
"The amount of venom that can be delivered
from a single bite can be gargantuan."
You know, I've always liked that word, "gargantuan".
So rarely have an opportunity to use it in a sentence.
