A pet rattlesnake bit its extremely drunk owner once on the finger while the man was playfully flicking its head, then bit him again on the lip and tongue after he attempted to kiss it, reports the Lander Journal.
According to Sgt. Gene Galitz's popular column "CopsCorner," the Lander man, identified as Rattlesnake Bob, was driven to the emergency room at the Lander Valley Medical Center on March 23 by his girlfriend. When he saw a patrol car at the hospital, he refused to get out, saying he hadn't had much luck with cops.
Galitz tried to persuade the man to seek medical attention, but the man refused. Luckily, the snake's bites did not inject venom.
"I'd bet the next morning the snake woke up with a hangover and Rattlesnake Bob woke up wondering who pierced his tongue and forgot to put in the decoration," Galitz wrote.
"Or...um...rattlesnakes?"
LOL!
Do you know how rare Liberals are in Lander, Wyoming? You'd have more luck finding a conservative on the Harvard faculty.
Just a drunken doofus who got lucky.
There's no such thing as a "Third Way". There's no such thing as a "pet" venomous snake. Pretty obvious.
The Lips that touch liquor, shall never touch mine.
Stupidity on parade. No doubt votes Democrap.
And Al Gore should be president because people who are too stupid to punch a hole in piece of paper wanted to vote for him.

Anyone who thinks that their pet reptiles see them as anything but a source of food is fooling themselves. Reptiles are not capable of empathy or love.
"...then bit him again on the lip and tongue after he attempted to kiss it..."
I hope he put some ice in it - Sounds a lot like bubba clinton.
"...then bit him again on the lip and tongue after he attempted to kiss it..."
I hope he put some ice in it - Sounds a lot like bubba clinton. The snake I mean.
Darn funny line, that!
Probably written on April Fools.
One day, walking up the hill to work, Jones cam across a large rattler. Facinated, he managed to catch the snake and put it safely in his lunch bucket. That day, at lunch when all the mechanics were lying about in the x-cut, Jones opened his lunch bucket to play with his new pet only to find an empty container. Upset, Jones loudly started asking, "Who stole my snake?" The drift cleared out immediatly and Jones got the name of Rattlesnake Jones for the remainder of his life.

Or just keep a sharp shovel on hand. Two years ago we had a mariachi band at an event here at the Maynard Dixon ranch in Southern Utah. They were changing clothes in the bunkhouse when suddenly there appeared a large rattler on the back porch. You can imagine their excitement. Our caretaker simply and calmly picked up a shovel and in one quick chop, the rattler was in two pieces. Within fifteen minutes a large hawk swooped down and had dinner.
Oh the joys of living in the high desert.
I know it gets lonely in Wyoming. I've been there; but how drunk does one have to be to put the moves on a rattlesnake?
I believe your story but I am wondering about 2 things. How big was his lunch bucket and was it really a Rattlesnake? Rattlesnakes are BIG and lunch buckets are not.
Lucky? Sounds more like he was trying to "get lucky" and got confused instead. THEN he got lucky...if you call getting bit by a rattlesnake on the finger, lips and tongue, lucky? Yeah; I knew what you meant.
heh heh heh LOLL
