Well, you think you’ve seen it all and then something comes along that just makes you shake your head in wonder. This is definitely the case concerning Chinese performer Liu Fei.

Liu Fei has been shoving snakes in and out of his nose and mouth for decades. He says that he owes his success to clean living and lots of snake slime. OK, I made that part up but come on, the guy is weird, right?

Frankly, I’m surprised it took so long for this news to make it to America! Now that the secret is out, look for Freak Shows all over the country to start a snake shortage. I’m sure even one or two will be bitten by a poisonous snake because he wants to top the nut jo…Uh, performers.

However, there will never be another Liu Fei, the king of the snake nose shover uppers or upper shovers…Well, you get my meaning!

Here’s a quick video showing his strange if not fascinating skills:

Liu Fei is not like most people. Then again, you might have already guessed that, what with this picture of him stuffing snakes down his nose.

Hailing from China’s Jiangxi Province, he’s been lobbing serpents down his nostrils for over three decades now, with only one major incident — the time when he accidentally swallowed one of the snakes.

Fortunately for Fei — and unfortunately for the snake itself — his slithering friend died inside his stomach before it could do any serious damage.

Perhaps what’s most impressive is that Fei is now 53 years old and still going strong. In fact, you can see him do his stuff on video below, taken just this year. Truly incredible stuff.

Ever wonder what Liu would put down on a Wal-Mart application if his act ever got old? Imagine the interview:

Manager: OK Liu, I’ve looked over your application but under skills you just list entertainer and snake handler.
Liu: My plevious emproyment ah ancient Chinese seclet.
Manager: Well, based on your age you really only qualify as a greeter.
Liu: Gleetea OK! Amelrica #1!
Manager: Yea….#1 indeed….Hmh, ahhh OK, I suppose we can give you a try. Just leave the snakes and grand pooba hat at home.
Liu: Who is gland poopa? Ahh, This is Amelrican Cowboy? Crint Eastahwood?
Manager: Nevermind, just start monday 8:00 am.
Liu (Monday at entrance): Ahh, Wewclome to ah Wawlmalrt! I am Gland Poopa!

OK, I know! I know! I’m stereotyping here but it’s just a joke people! Lighten up! I’m sure Liu is a great guy.

I can imagine Liu at parties, hey Liu! Do that snake thing with the nose and whatever. Like Liu carries snakes for just such an occasion. Something tells me he just might.
