This margarita came with a twisssst.
A snake dropped out of the ceiling of a Mexican restaurant and landed in a woman’s margarita, leaving her rattled.
Carletta Andrews said she’d just finished dinner on April 16 with her husband at Patron Mexican Restaurant and Cantina in Sandston, Virginia, when she felt something hit her forehead, according to 8News.
“I looked at my husband like what was that,” Andrews explained, adding she’s “scarred” for life. “When I turned around, I saw the snake in my margarita.”
Andrews said the snake — a baby of indeterminate species — started curling itself around her drink’s straw.
“I kept saying please don’t let it go in my purse,” she said. “I left shaking, I was traumatized.” She has not said if she plans to sue.
Restaurant workers rushed in to try to remove the snake with a stick. But another patron grabbed the snake and release it to the wild.
Andrews said the restaurant offered to move her to a booth, but she just wanted to go home.

We have blue racers amongst the many here in TX.
So… I guess it was really a… “Rattle” snake… Since she’s rattled
Was she having a margarita with MS-13?
They thought she ordered the premium version that comes with a live worm.
We used to have that problem with crows with our basement windows. They never broke the glass, fortunately, we did have to block the windows so the birds did not see their reflections.
My adopted hometown is Langtry, Texas. Lived there during Operation Wetback in early 50’s.
On a visit to the Texas Highway Rest Stop and Judge Roy Bean Museum, several years ago, my wife asked the guy in charge if tourists ever came in from their cactus garden pathway to tell them about seeing a poisonous snake there. He said, “Oh, yes. Especially the tourists from New York and New Jersey. They always ask, ‘You’re not going to kill it, are you?’ And we reply, No, Ma’am, were going to relocate it. When the tourists leave we go kill it with a shovel, and relocate it to the desert.” My kinda guy.
Crap!
WRONG THREAD.
Sorry about that.
Well, I guess it would be a good test of character to see how the other person reacts to unexpected, somewhat traumatic situations.
STUPID!
It could be an invasive species.
Yeah, it would discourage me from eating there again.
Ping!
I was kinda enjoying the change from snakes to crows.

There are worse forms of the herp she could have experienced from that date.
Carletta Andrews was blessed by the Nagas.
Very good luck.
All snakes are invasive species in my book. Since the Garden.
The funniest snake encounters were with the blacksnake that lived in our outhouse on our farm.
Many people ran out screaming with their pants around their ankles. 😁
And the snake slithered happily away with a tequila buzz.
grabbed the snake and release it
English must not have been the writers’ best subject.

Probably chasing a rat.
