I believe it was Noah. After the arc came to ground on Mount Ararat after the Great Flood subsided, and the animals went out, two by two, Noah said, "Go forth and multiply."

Giving the arc one last check before he and his family left, he saw two snakes curled up in a corner and they were crying.

Noah said, "What are you still doing here? I said 'go forth and multiply.'"

"But we can't!" said one of the snakes. "We're adders!"

Rimshot!!
