Last July 4 , I friend of mine ,living on Lake Of the Pines, decided to take in the fireworks display. He surmised in order to really get a close-hand look , it would be better to get closer to the water. He had a few too many drinks and his wife insisted he enjoy the fireworks alone.......,and... outside. After much thought he decided he could get a "up-close and personal (ring-side seat) in one of the boats , docked at the pier.
He managed to finally find a seat in a flat-bottomed boat that had not been used in weeks. He settled down after placing his "ice chest" in the boat and decided to "have another" as the fireworks was just beginning.
As he reached for the lid....he felt a lighting strike sensation to his arm! There was just enough light from the fireworks to realize he had " BEEN bitten By a snake!
Instantly , still in a "fog" , he remembered seeing on TV where electricity would disiapate snake venom as well as any anti-venom serum.
He managed to get out of the boat and make is way up the hill to the house.
First he thought of the 120 V outlet outside , but realized he would have to "strip wires) , etc in order to get the set-up for his quickly depleting situation.
"LIGHT BULB"....His wife had a Tazer in her purse....and it was in her parked car , a few yards from him!....He ran to the car and luckily she left it unlocked. He saw her purse in the seat and emptied all it's contents in the seat. THERE IT WAS......The Taser....He quickly unsheathed it and proceed to tase the poison that had been injected into him from the snake! HE PULLED THE TRIGGER.....AND....it knocked him on his arse....and kept him there...kickin and flopping.like a chicken .....until.......the barbs pulled out.....About that time his wife walked outside to see was was causing all the commotion ...and what a sight !!............His pants were wet....he had shit his pants....BUT.................HE WAS SOBER AGAIN !!......After gaining her sympathy she agreed to rush him to the hospital it was determined the snake was not poisonous , ...just pissed... after having an ice chest sat on it....Lesson TO Learn.....DO NOT DRINK AND WATCH FIREWORKS AT THE LAKE......
For goodness sakes, we all need a chuckle now and again
