Garden Snakes Are Dangerous>>
Garden Grass Snakes also known as Garter Snakes> (Thamnophissirtalis) can be dangerous. Yes, grass snakes, not > rattlesnakes.>> Here's why.>> A couple in Morro Bay, California, had a lot of potted plants.> During a recent chilly spell, the wife was bringing a lot of them indoors > to> protect them from a possible freeze.>> It turned out that a little green garden grass snake was hidden> in one of the plants and when it had warmed up, it slithered out and the> wife saw it go under the sofa.>> She let out a very loud scream.>> The husband (who was taking a shower) ran out into the living> room naked to see what the problem was. She told him there was a snake > under> the sofa.>> He got down on the floor on his hands and knees to look for it.> About that time the family dog came and cold-nosed him on the behind. He> thought the snake had bitten him, so he screamed and fell over on the> floor.>> His wife thought he had a heart attack, so she covered him up,> told him to lie still and called an ambulance.>> The attendants rushed in, wouldn't listen to his protests and> loaded him on the stretcher and started carrying him out.>> About that time the snake came out from under the sofa and the> Emergency Medical Technician saw it and dropped his end of the stretcher.>> That's when the man broke his leg and why he is still in the> hospital.>> The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so > she> called on a neighbor man.>> He volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a> rolled-up newspaper and began poking under the couch. Soon he decided it > was> gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief.>> But while relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions,> where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the> snake rushed back under the sofa.>> The neighbor man, seeing her lying there passed out, tried to> use CPR to revive her.>> The neighbor's wife, who had just returned from shopping at the> grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed > her> husband in the back of the head with a bag of canned goods, knocking him > out> and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches.>> The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her> neighbor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed> that he had been bitten by the snake. She went to the kitchen and got a> small bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the man's throat.>> By now the police had arrived.>> They saw the unconscious man, smelled the whiskey, and assumed> that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, > when> the women tried to explain how it all happened over a little green snake.>> The police called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor > and> his sobbing wife.>> The little snake again crawled out from under the sofa.>> One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it.>> He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table.

Both men were discharged from the hospital, the> house was repaired, the dog came home, the police acquired a new car, and> all was right with their world.>> A while later they were watching TV and the weatherman > announced> a cold snap for that night. The wife asked her husband if he thought they> should bring in their plants for the night.>>
That's when he shot her.>
