#10 They have anti-venom in stock? In Ireland? What is next, Unicorn Repellent (It's gotta be effective! Have you ever seen one while sober...?)?

(There is a native venomous snake in England, the adder, so... is it stocked for silly tourist bringing back a unique souvenir?)

#16 Faith and Gomorrah! or, &c.

'Twas midnight in Dublin, and Hatrick
Went out chasing snakes with St. Patrick,
Who found quite a few
In the cool mornin' dew,
Though... "The mass of these bastards is Catholic!"
