Man Bit By Rattlesnake After Putting It in His Mouth to Impress Ex-Girlfriend
Wednesday, September 19, 2007
PORTLAND, Ore. — Snake collector Matt Wilkinson of Portland grabbed a 20-inch rattler from the highway near Maupin, and three weeks later, to impress his ex-girlfriend, he stuck the serpent in his mouth. He was soon near death with a swollen tongue that blocked his throat. Trauma doctors at the Oregon Health and Science University saved his life.
"You can assume alcohol was involved," he said.
.......
Wilkinson, 23, had downed a six-pack and his ex-girlfriend asked him for a beer. He handed her one, not realizing the snake was also in his hand.
"She said, 'Get that thing out of my face,'" Wilkinson said. "I told her it was a nice snake. 'Nothing can happen. Watch.'"
So he stuck the snake in his mouth.

I am sure she was extremely impressed, and probably would’ve had sex with him on the spot if he hadn’t been comatose ...
Idiot.

"You can assume alcohol was involved," he said. Alcohol and bad decisions are like lightening and thunder. When you get one, you will always get the other.

Had the bite been somewhere else, I’m sure she would have had sex with him. :-)

This is an easy error to make. I have more than once conducted similar smake biting spectacles in front of my girlfriend. Some concentration is required as to placement.
So the ex-factor could easily be just a lapse of concentration and good judgment that can happer yo all of us at any time.
