I swear its true ...

[Willee - Texas]

I went metal detecting this morning out in the water.

After a while I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth swimming by me.
Frogs are good bass bait and as I also like to fish I wanted that frog.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog,
and put it in my finds pouch.

Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. (he was a bit upset at this point)
So, I grabbed my flask of Jack Daniels (always carry a nip with me) and poured a little in it's mouth.
His eyes rolled back and he went limp.
I released him into the water without incident and carried on with my metal detecting.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my hip.

There was that same snake ... with two frogs in his mouth.

Got to bring more Jack Daniels with me next time.

Down in Florida, I once wrestled a scantily clad cheerleader from the mouth of an alligator. I married that girl, now that many the years have passed and the compaining has increased, I want the gator to take her back but he won't have her.....

That story, (actually about a guy fishing) was contained in a song (from the USA), which was sung by Mike Seeger. Mike used to be a member of tne New Lost City Ramblers, but I only heard a recording of him singing that one solo. Your might be able to chase it up. I think it was simply called "The fishing Song". I dont know who wrote it.

Good job the snake didn't ask for another nip or i wouldn't believe a word as we all know snakes dont talk

 

[whippy]

... as we all know snakes dont talk

The one I married does.

 

[Neptune]

No, Willee is the one that had the experience with the snake and frogs. I had the experience with the cheerleader and the Gator! After many years I have come to understand that the cheerleaders teeth and scales are much more dangerous, which is why the Gator doesn't want anything to do with her....

 

[BARKER]

Hi Neptune; Is that why he married her anyway????

 

[Neptune]

Neptune, if your wife reads these, I hope you got a blanket for the sofa. anyway, one time I was metal detecting and this Myna bird landed on my shoulder, after a few minutes of trying to make him talk, I realized he couldn't, so I took him to the vet, the vet took one look at the bird and said, the reason he can't talk is because his bill is to long. He told me to take him home get a wood file, file his bill down till it turned blue, then the bird would be able to talk, I did this, and the next day I took him back to the vet laying in my hand deader than a door nail, the Doc said what did you do to the bird. I said I did what you told me Doc, I took him home filed his bill down till it turned blue, but when I took his head out of the vice he was dead! Gene

Is this the cocktail room? Sounds like a bar at happy hour.

Hi Barker, it's a bird that you can teach to talk. Gene
