A funny thing to do is, if you're out hiking and your friend gets bitten by a poisonous snake, tell him you're going to go for help, then go about ten feet and pretend that YOU got bit by a snake. Then start an argument with him about who's going to go get help. A lot of guys will start crying. That's why it makes you feel good when you tell them it was just a joke.

There aren't any poisonous snakes. Snakes are venomous.

Artex, you need to tell your doctor that your anti-psychotic medications just aren't working quite right.

Big Coop - good call, it actually is a deep thought by Jack Handy. I couldn't resist.

Oh thats a relief! Artex didn't actually dream that one up himself. But he thought it was a good idea? Hmmmm. Go hiking with us Artex, we won't play any tricks on you, really, honest.

You just need to beat the other person to it and claim to have been bitten. That way when he fakes it you'll both have a good laugh.

Just laugh at him, sit there and watch him die.

Then take his wallet, watch, car keys, etc.

Vemomous snakes are not dangerous if you can avoid the sharp end.

That's the problem my parents have right now. An entire colony of black king snakes lives under their House. I catch and remove them as I can.

At least they won't have a rodent problem.

There are good rattlesnakes and bad rattlesnakes.


Ove the years I have found that the subset "good rattlesnake" is wholly encompassed by the larger group called "dead rattlesnakes".

Getting bitten by a rattler is rare, as they ususally warn you before you come too close. One of my good friends has no fear of snakes. It makes the encounter much more interesting, when he is around.

Snakes
Oh ynami! that is a wild article. Its a little hard for me to really sell myself on the idea that snakes are social. It may be true. Its just not ever gonna register with this gal. LMAO
The Smokies sez no killing snakes.
Poisonous or otherwise. Its hard for me to remember that when one is swimming around my legs. :-o
I stood up on the parapet of the bridge below my house in Virginia one Spring. I watched as many different sorts of snakes crawled out of a den in the river bank. I could see them on crawling out of the bank on either side of the bridge. I had some freaky dreams that night.
