I put the snake in there today, but nothing came out, so I'm not sure that's the issue.

Half the players and all the dealers know each other on a first name basis, so you feel like you're walking into a snake den when you set down.

This is like selling snake oil to a dying man where the salesman knows it won't cure him.

The vast majority of them either don't understand the real estate business or won't tell you the truth about it (because the truth won't entice you to part with your hard-earned money).If a person was actually successful in real estate, why would they need to travel around pawning snake oil?

Man oh man, then I had to snake another rentals drains, probablly one of the most eventful days in my short rental history.

All of the successful Realtors I know in my area (and I know all of them) can be very pleasant and they can also bite the head off a rattle snake!

Who wants to watch the Thunder play the Magic?

Then, because you monetized it and make money at it, you get the label of guru, snake oil salesman, etc.

There is a plunger, the lid to the toilet tank and a snake sitting in the hallway.
