Funny thing is, I do not find this story amusing.
Even a snake does not deserve this.
How long before this calls gets posted to YouTube?
The sad thing is that it probably was a chicken snake, because it slithered into a nearby brush pile. A rattlesnake would have been coiled, ready to attack. A cottonmouth would have attacked! I am talking from years of experience. That lady was scared by a harmless snake!
When we were newlyweds, we rented a small house in a Walnut Orchard in Walnut Creek, CA. It’s very hot there, and you don’t need heat too often. The weather unexpectedly turned cold in the middle of spring, and I switched on the floor furnace. A horrid smell permeated the house. I could barely stand to be there, and I couldn’t get rid of it.
I called the landlord over (he lived in another house on the property) to check it out. A huge rattlesnake had crawled into the floor furnace (this house had no basement — just a crawl space) and had burned up in the floor furnace when I turned it on. I could hardly wait to move!
This lady will likely spend some time in jail for cruelty to animals.
Oh that is funny!
When My Uncle was a kid, a snake bit him at the local swimming hole, he caught it and bit it back!
Wonder how she will deal with the insurance company over this?
They may just sing her a song, “you fought the snake and the snake won”.
To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell’s heart, I stab at thee; For hate’s sake, I spit my last breath at thee
— Reported last hisses of the snake
Nothing worse than a “cold blooded arsonist”.
Brush pile? Sounds like these folks would have guns. Never use gasoline to do a gun’s job.
Now that’s funny.
Never bring a snake to a firefight. Or vice versa!
Hard to believe that someone living in Texarkana, TX didn’t have a shotgun on hand to kill that snake.
Would’a been a lot quicker and easier to use than gasoline and a match — not to mention, a whole lot less costly.
