Something to ponder while having that first cup of coffe.
Hold muh beer....
Watch this . . . . .
No kidding. Darwin award candidate.
Probably a "liberal" who thought if you just give a snake enough love and try to "understand" them, they won't bite you.
Speaking of Muslims,.......
Don't you just hate when that happens?
Apparently the snake is more discriminating than the guy's girlfriend is. I wouldn't want to kiss a drunk either. : )
This dude is very lucky. If the bite was 'wet' and not 'dry' the rattler's hemotoxic/cytotoxic mix would have seriously messed up his face. Chances are some skin would have sloughed off. He is one lucky dude.
* Note to girlfriend, this guy's a loser.
A lady here in Arizona was bitten by a rattlesnake, and she mistakenly thought that she had to catch it and take it in for analysis (maybe she was thinking of rabid mammals). It unhinged its jaw and bit her several times on the hand. The TV news showed her hand, and it was all swelled up and looked bruised and very painful. Lesson to be learned - don't mess with rattlesnakes. You would think that would be obvious, but some people are incapable of learning.
Just damn. And no opportunity for a richly-deserved Darwin Award.
Classic!
When i was young we (family) would go hunting for rattlers on a friend's ranch. That's the only way to "play" with them (rattler at business end of the rifle!).
Lucky Hes not "Aligator Bob".
Or...um...rattlesnakes?
He was just trying to do his part to stop muddying up the gene pool. He didn't quite make it this time, but I think success is close.
I'm kinda thinking that if this was what started the incident, he got what he deserved. Most of us think - Rattlesnake - and - playfully flicking it's head - don't go well together.
We never have these kinds of accidents at my church.
I give up, which one was f\French kissing?
"When he saw a patrol car at the hospital, he refused to get out, saying he hadn't had much luck with cops."
Back in my hippie '60's daze, there was a popular LEO poster that said,
"Next to you need help,
Call a hippie."
This guy chose the hippie.
As Rosie O'Donuts would say, "it's just a different kind of love".
