Back-Flipping Rattlesnake Head Sends Man to Hospital
by BigJolly · 08/10/2007 9:35 am

So you’re out in the pasture, feeding your horses and along comes a five foot rattler. You pin it down, chop off his head and bend down to pick up your prize.

“When I reached down to pick up the head, it raised around and did a backflip almost, and bit my finger,” Anderson said. “I had to shake my hand real hard to get it to let loose.”

After being released from the hospital, Mr. Anderson was asked what he’d do different the next time.

If another rattlesnake comes along, Anderson said he’ll likely try to kill it again, but said he’ll grab a shovel and bury it right there.

“It still gives me the creeps to think that son-of-a-gun could do that,” he said.

Well, son-of-a-gun, it gives me the creeps too.

    But could she do back flips?

    She could spin her head all the way around:

    #1. That reminds me of an old joke.

    My ex-wife got bit by a snake. The snake died.

    “It may have been just a reflex on the part of the snake.”

    Ya think? He has probably never thrown one into a fire ant bed before. Sheesh!

    At least they knew what kind of anti-venom to use.

    Quick! Someone call Fred Hill! He’ll know what to do!

    Should have left the head alone and picked up the body. With a little hot oil in a pan … fried rattle snake. Of course Shiner Bocks required to go along.

    Liberals have been known to exhibit the same behavior. Be wary.
