Okay so it could be worse...

And I thought my job sucked!. Seriously there has to be a different way to do this right?

There are several things happening here. First, THEY ARE COBRAS!! I mean it's not like this guy was asked to clean out the baby seal pit or even the lion pit. Seriously I would rather do the lion. At least there is just the one lion to deal with. At some point during the job description this guy read "Clean out cobra pit" and decided he could do that. "It falls under duties otherwise assigned. Your regular job is to sweep up around the trash cans and and give some moron directions to the polar bears that are right behind him. And before you clock just make sure the cobra pit is cleaned up." I'm sorry what?
Second, What is the appropriate attire for cleaning out a cobra pit. I'm going to go ahead and guess that it's not rolled up sweats, soccer jersey, shoulder bag, and flip flops. This guy looks like someone stopped him on the way to the beach. "Hold up a second I gotta clean out the cobra pit before we play frisbeee."  How about at least wearing some boots and pants that cover your ankles. At least give the snake something to bite through. If it's me I am in a suit or armor and still pissing myself.
Third, How is he not bitten. It's like he's the cobra whisperer. He must have watched some Raiders of the Lost Ark because there is no way Indiana Jones makes it out of the place alive and this is as close as it gets in real life. I mean he isn't even looking half the time and tossing them like I toss my laundry. Except I am tossing two year old underwear not COBRAS!
And who is the person taking the video and not telling this dude how completely mental he is. There is no way I am taking that video and not screaming at this guy that he is stupid. He might as well be in the library it's so quiet. And he's just having casual conversation with the folks watching. "Hey man when your done you wanna grab a taco?"
"Sounds good, but I gotta stop at the bank first."
How about telling him to get the hell out of the cobra pit because they are cobras and they will kill you and your bandana won't save you.

This video helps me appreciate how good my life actually is. As much as I think my job sucks, I could be that guy.  After work I will go home and hug my family and have a beer with my wife. This guy will go home feed his pet tiger have a beer with the guy who brushes the alligators teeth.
