Frank also sent the following snake photos along with this description:

"Here is a set of photos, which were distributed through Verizon this past summer. It shows a pair of copperhead snakes that had made a home in one of our TSI cabinets. One of the snakes had electrocuted himself, and was very dead. The other had to be persuaded to come out of his nesting place. These pictures were taken somewhere West Virginia."

"Here is a picture I found of the vans. You can barely see it in this photo,
but on right rear door is the Bell logo, and the Vz logo is on the left." - Bill Cook.

A spoof from a website visitor named Brock:

Looks like a great idea for Verizon's logo!
