*GARDEN SNAKES CAN BE
DANGEROUS...*

Snakes also
known as Garter Snakes (Thamnophissirtalis) can be
dangerous.


Yes, grass snakes, not
rattlesnakes. Here's why.


A couple
in Sweetwater, Texas, had a lot of
potted plants. During a


recent cold spell, the wife was
bringing a lot of them indoors to protect


them from a possible
freeze.


It turned out that a little
green garden grass snake was hidden in one
of


the plants. When it had warmed
up, it slithered out and the wife saw it go


under the sofa.


She let out a very loud
scream.


The husband (who was taking a
shower) ran out into the living room naked
to


see what the problem was. She
told him there was a snake under the sofa.


He got down on the floor on his
hands and knees to look for it. About that


time the family dog came and
cold-nosed him in his behind. He thought
the


snake had bitten him, so he
screamed and fell over on the floor.

His wife thought he had had a
heart attack, so she covered him up, told
him


to lie still and called an
ambulance.


The attendants rushed in, would
not listen to his protests, loaded him on


the stretcher, and started
carrying him out.


About that time, the snake came
out from under the sofa and the Emergency


Medical Technician saw it and
dropped his end of the stretcher. That's
when


the man broke his leg and why he
is still in the hospital.


The wife still had the problem
of the snake in the house, so she called on
a


neighbor who volunteered to
capture the snake. He armed himself with a


rolled-up newspaper and began
poking under the couch.. Soon he decided it


was gone and told the woman, who
sat down on the sofa in relief.


But while relaxing, her hand
dangled in between the cushions, where she
felt


the snake wriggling around. She
screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back

under the sofa.

The neighbor man, seeing her
lying there passed out, tried to use CPR to


revive her.


The neighbor's wife, who had
just returned from shopping at the grocery


store, saw her husband's mouth
on the woman's mouth and slammed her
husband


in the back of the head with a
bag of canned goods, knocking him out and


cutting his scalp to a point
where it needed stitches.


The noise woke the woman from
her dead faint and she saw her neighbor
lying


on the floor with his wife
bending over him, so she assumed that the
snake


had bitten him. She went to the
kitchen and got a small bottle of whiskey,


and began pouring it down the
man's throat.


By now, the police had
arrived.


Breathe here...


They saw the unconscious man,
smelled the whiskey, and assumed that a


drunken fight had occurred. They
were about to arrest them all, when the


women tried to explain how it
all happened over a little garden snake!


The police called an ambulance,
which took away the neighbor and his
sobbing


wife.


Now, the little snake again
crawled out from under the sofa and one of
the


policemen drew his gun and fired
at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg


of the end table. The table fell
over, the lamp on it shattered and, as the


bulb broke, it started a fire in
the drapes.


The other policeman tried to
beat out the flames, and fell through the


window into the yard on top of
the family dog who, startled, jumped out
and


raced into the street, where an
oncoming car swerved to avoid it and
smashed


into the parked police
car.


Meanwhile, neighbors saw the
burning drapes and called in the fire


department. The firemen had
started raising the fire ladder when they
were


halfway down the street. The
rising ladder tore out the overhead wires,
put


out the power, and disconnected
the telephones in a ten-square city block


area (but they did get the house
fire out).


Time passed! Both men were
discharged from the hospital, the house was


repaired, the dog came home, the
police acquired a new car and all was right

with their world.

A while later they were watching
TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap


for that night. The wife asked
her husband if he thought they should bring


in their plants for the
night.


And that's when he shot
her.*


*P.S. Its been a
long time since I laughed this hard about an
email...*

Welcome to Earth......third rock from the Sun.
Just another day in the neighborhood of mentally defectives.

When I was a young and mischevious boy; one Sunday morning on the way to church, I and another boy caught a grass snake and intending to scare the girls took it to church. This was a small country church and the podium where the preacher stood to deliver his sermons was wooden with a small drawer for his notes. A light was mounted on the front edge of the podium. the electric cord to the light came out a hole in front at about the same level as the small drawer. We were in the church before any of the girls arrived. While waiting we saw my mother headed up the front walk. In a panic I got rid of the grass snake by putting it in the drawer and shutting it.

Yep, right in the middle of the sermon the little green snake head emerged through the hole in the front of the podium.  

    The service was somewhat disrupted.

My friend and I, for once, because we feared for our lives, kept a secret. No one ever found out how that snake really got in the podium.

 

What a cute story! Which goes to prove, boys will be boys! lol
