Forbidden snoot boop

the diagram looks like the person is trying to pull an apple out of its nose

It will release whatever it holds, and grab your arm instead!

Bop it!

Tap it or punch it? I mean there’s a difference in both movements and intensity.

they work like those trash bin lids, push it until it clicks and it unlatches to swing open, then push it down again and it clicks closed

We’ve been training for this since we were kids

"Bad gator, bad! Drop it! Drop it!"

I went to an alligator themed tourist attraction in Florida years ago where a man would hover his hand inside an alligator’s mouth - he claimed that if you don’t touch their palate, the alligator’s bite reflex will not be triggered.

Now this man had about 4 fingers on both of his hands combined, so take from that what you will…

This also has the side effect of sending the targeted reptile to horny jail

No effect when you are in the mouth.

"Oy! What's the big idea, can't you see I'm enjoying my mea-dammit, fell for it again..."

The only thing that worries me, Jim, is being the first one down that gullet.

That's a great way to lose an arm...

I reckon a .45 between the eyes would work as well.

Good to know.
