For Whatever Ails You

   Mark was out exploring Paris when he saw these bottles in a window of a prestigious wine shop.  Forget that wimpy worm in the bottom of the tequila bottle! These bottles have real King Cobra snakes with large scorpions in their jaws, suspended in a clear liquor.
  Apparently these are bottles of wine from China and Vietnam.  The Chinese have been infusing wine with snakes for thousands of years.  The cobras' and scorpions' poison is cancelled out by the high potency of the alcohol they are suspended in.
  Snake wine is used as a natural medicine to treat back pain, rheumatism and other ills.  It is also supposed to be a very potent aphrodisiac.
  Reptile dysfunction anyone?
