The only snakes from Arkansas that I know are named "Clinton"
PS Location of above is also Arkansas...
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A curious pickup truck driver spotted a box in the grass marked "Live venomous reptile" east of downtown and stopped to take a look.
"When you see something like that, you want to look and see what it is," Paul Mitchell of Little Rock said of his Friday afternoon discovery. "I went over and kicked the box."
The electrician looked inside and found a cloth bag slithering into the form of a cobra ready to strike.
Another Snake Bites Man story.
Scotsman turned into a briton?
The Scotsman's company was the cabinet builder for the clinton liebrary in LR.
Add one more mysterious death due to Arkicide with the clintons.
How many people do YOU know who have been murdered or commited suicide by 2 45 slugs to the head and a shotgun blast to the back? (or similar circumstances)
How many does this make now?
I wonder if green mamba venom is ever tested for in questionable death autopsies?
The speckled band perhaps?
Anytime a neighbor says "he was a lovely man" I get Creeped out and think the worse!!! SERIAL KILLER.
Snakes from Arkansas are horrified to learn they are named "clinton".

We almost had a double-Darwin.
Professional courtesy.
Darn it! ;)
Even if this guy made it to the local hospital, he most likely would have died anyway. Depending on what snake bit him, it is highly unlikely the medical facilities had the anti toxin serum to treat victims of exotic snake bites.
Surely this is a candidate for the Darwin Awards...
And a Man Kicks Snake story.
