what is that saying,,," Black and Red - you are an ok fellow; black and yellow you are a dead fellow"? or is it the other way around

Did you get into the cage with this fellow Mike. Beautiful snake and photo. Looks like he even gave you a little smile (or were you holding up a rat in front of his face

)

The way I remember it is "Red and black, friend of Jack, Red and yellow, kill a fellow." (Some apostates say it is "Red and black, venom lack...", but they are clearly misguided and incorrect! :-)

One of the things I like about this guy (or gal) is that I love the expression.
