Deadly cobra fascinated Bill, who likes flirting with danger. Trainer never did say if poisonous venom had been removed. “Fortunately,” Bill adds, “I didn’t have to find out — we got on fine.” TWO WORLDS I KNOW continued, Japan, he and the Crown Prince became fast friends and Bill regularly sends him favorite American showtune albums, while Japan’s famed Kabuki players recently gifted Bill with a hand-painted wall panel “for my office back home.” Happiest just living the life of the country he’s in, Bill took to sarongs (worn by Singhalese men) , made friends ( ? ) with a cobra, played straight man for a talented trick elephant. Wife Ardis doesn’t mind his “traveling fever” but some of his enthusiasms can be a little upsetting — like the time they were leaving Ceylon and Bill said he was going to take home a cobra for the Griffith Park Zoo. Ardis drew the line at baby-sitting for a cobra on the plane and Bill dropped it.
