A little dose of down home country logic.

C'mon, rattlesnakes are alright.

No reason to compare them to jihadists.

You might think that, if you live in New York, but those of us from out west don't see it that way at all.

I think they're just great on hats, belts, boots, and frying pans.

We’d like to deal with the rattlesnakes that way but around here the government has told is its illegal to kill them

Called a neighbor to help me deal with one by the porch

He teaches them tricks: lay down , roll over, play dead!

We’re considering going on the road. It’s circus time !

Rattlesnakes just do what the Lord programmed them to do. They are neither good nor evil, they just are.

Jihadists, however, do what Satan programmed them to do. They are evil.

"I saved you!" cried that woman
"and you've bitten me but why?"
"you know your bite is poisonous
and now I'm gonna die."

"Ha ha, shut up, silly woman."
said that reptile with a grin.
"You knew darn well I was a snake
before you took me in."

Out on the road there one time in Montana, a bunch of the boys were traveling in convoy in a couple of SUVs, when they came across a rattler that somebody had run over with a car. The poor creature was still alive and writhing, unable to move away from its mass of crushed internal organs. One of the guys thought it a good idea to put the creature out of its misery, but they were unsure how to approach it, as nobody had a side arm or a good solid club of any kind. But there was a length of log chain in one of the SUVs, with a snatch hook on the end.

So maybe if the end of the chain were swung around to get up a little inertia, and brought down on the snake’s head, it would be crushed, and its struggle would be over.

So Larry, in best rodeo fashion, started by swinging the chain around and around over his head, and launched the end with the snatch hook at the snake’s head. Only, he miscalculated a liiitttllle bit, and in a deft application of the laws of physics, the snatch hook caught the trunk of the creature a little back of the head, pulling the writhing front part of the snake up loose of the ground, sending the head with its opened fangs almost directly at Larry’s face. Fortunately, both the end of the chain and the flying part of the snake shot past Larry’s head, landing in the ditch, where by unanimous vote, it was deemed best to allow the creature to die without further molestation from us.

And no, we hadn’t even been drinking. But on reconsideration, maybe we should have just kept driving back and forth on the remains of the snake until we were satisfied it no longer posed a threat to curious and incautious human beings.

Dayum, I hate snakes.

As my FIL told one of his grandchildren who kept a pet snake, “You may think he [the snake] is looking at you with adoring eyes but he’s just wondering what you taste like.”

Applies to most Muslims as well. My FIL would have likely agreed. He also taught me, “When you see a snake and a Muslim in the road, first kill the Muslim.”

While we’re on the subject, does anyone know if .38 special snake shot is effective when used in a snub nose?

Oh, Please Mesta, I never have to "put up with you". You are a joy to have on this Forum.

I am glad Penelope chose you to handle her pings while she is away, She Couldn't have made a Better Choice!

“You may think he [the snake] is looking at you with adoring eyes but he’s just wondering what you taste like.”

Reminds me of the book my wife got me last Christmas: How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you. Very humorous.

What’s the difference between a dead muslim and a dead snake, lying on the road?

The snake has skidmarks in front of it.

Because so many in our gov either receive $ from Mozlems or are Mozlems themselves. And lefitsts have affinity with Mozlems becuase of their common hatred of all that is good about our country.

As a fellow west Texan I too have to deal with rattlesnakes. Seems I have a small den of them in an old systern that borders my property and they tend to wander back and forth denning up in Winter and wandering out in the Spring. I only kill them when I find them in the yard. If they are across the road or in the field I live and let live but not too close. And I caint hear them as well as I use to.
