I consider myself 40 percent Catholic and 60 percent Baptist … but I’m in favor of every religion, with the possible exception of snake-chunking. Anybody that so presumes on how he stands with Providence that he will let a snake bite him, I say he deserves what he’s got coming to him.

Earl Kemp Long
