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.

“Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?”
must be the best Margies in town.
I hate when that happens.
“Asps. Very dangerous. You go first.”
I think that restaurant has bigger problems than a baby snake.
One hell of a worm in that tequila!
a memorable night out
Where’s mama, and there is typically a clutch of eggs. Oddly enough signs of rats and mice are never noticed during health inspections.

Most likely an Eastern Margarita Snake.
I drank a margarita once and found a cockroach dried to the bottom of the glass. They gave me a free one so I was happy.

What’s the old Henny Youngman joke?
He asks the waiter what is a fly doing in my soup.
And the waiter replies, the backstroke.
How much can you score from an underaged reptile?
I take it she did not adopt it as herpet.

There's got to be more where that came from.
Is the place already booked up for World Snake Day?
My wife was doing the yard on her riding mower. She came tearing around the house yelling about a snake. When she made a close pass around a tree, a snake fell out of the tree. Six foot long black racer. I think the snake was more afraid than she was. BTW, black racers are the good guys. They will kill ratlers.
