Obviously the victim isn’t a lawyer, snakes don’t bite lawyers, Professional Courtesy.

Same for sharks.

If only more snakes could get into AA

If you just stop cold turkey, you might even see 'em!

the worst snakes don’t rattle

Around here we have a lot of Western Diamondbacks - which rattle their warning......however, we also have a few Mojave which are very aggessive, and reportedly 20 times more venemous -- and I've been told they shoot first and rattle later.

Two hunters are out hunting whitetail deer. The one hunter is bitten by a rattlesnake, and falls quickly victim to the venom. The friend calls 911 in panic, and after many attempts, finally connects. The hunter explains the situation about his bitten friend, and remarks, "He's not breathing. I think he's dead."

The 911 operator answers, "Well, make sure, before we go further...."

There's a pause. Then a gunshot.

The hunter gets back on the phone, and says, "Ok, he's dead, now what?"

I've had a green Mojave turn and come directly at me from 30 feet away. Shoot them on sight!

Two hunters were in the woods. Jeb stepped behind a tree to take a leak. Yep, you got it. Rattlesnake bite. Right on the pee-pee. Lets out a huge scream. His buddy, Bubba, runs over to find out what happened.

Jeb: Dad-gum Rattlesnake! Bit me right where it hurts the most! Call 911!

So, Bubba calls on his cellphone.

Operator: 911 what is the nature of your call?

Bubba: My friend just got bit by a Rattlesnake! What should I do? Operator: O.K, now above all, don’t panic. Keep him calm. Then you have to suck the poison out of the bite. Otherwise he will die. Do you understand?

Bubba: “Yes, Thank you.” and hangs up.

Jeb: Well, what did she say? Come on man, I can take it.

Bubba: She say’s you’re gonna die.

Alcohol plays a role in a large # of US snakebites.

Huh, I never knew snakes drank beer.......

About three years ago, I hacked up a Western in the front yard, when all of a sudden wifey came out and told me there was another rattler in the back yard, underneath a bushy dwarf citrus...........it was coiled and rattling up a storm.

Since my "mutt" hoe wouldn't reach it, I called the animal control guy...

As I showed him the dead western in the front he started in with the usual "rattlesnakes are our friends.........." but that changed to "Sh*t! That's a Mojave! If you ever see another, kill it!"...then he used his tool and snagged it.
