Dear Roland,
I've never asked, but from context I have always assumed that the "snake"
was an original Cobra. If so, "whack the hell out of" some part of an
*original Cobra*? I mean, if you had asked me, I'd have said a better
solution would be to have an orthopedic surgeon section a couple inches
out of your thigh bone. Granted, it was an interior panel of the snake,
but it is visible. Nobody ever sees your thighbone.
