The idea of someone having a pet snake in 1982 would have been so bizarre that it would be deemed comical. That said snake is called "Ginger," a typical name for a harmless cat, not a 30-foot python reinforces that. This would probably have raised a sensable chuckle back in the day, but I don't think it really stands up to the test of time.
