As clued by the flavor text, we're being told jokes by a snake who doesn't quite get how the interrupting works. As a result, solvers are given pairs of clues that have been intertwined with each other - one clues a normal word and one clues an interjection. These can be combined to form a single word. (That poor snake still hasn't figured out where the interruptions go!) There is additionally a number at the end of each to extract by.
