Perhaps this would be better titled snake tails in the toilet? One thing we can agree upon, is when you find something long and dark in a toilet bowl there are really no good options. It is going to require some manner of unpleasant action on your part…Unless Morgan Freeman is in the vicinity, of course.
For one Alabama construction worker, what he found turned out to be a four-foot long, venomous Cottonmouth. Watch Anderson Cooper try not to lose it while reading one snake pun after another on the RidicuList. Like most sane people, AC is “Careful” around snakes, as we can see from the clip where he takes on a garter snake, with a great deal of help. Lucky for all involved it wasn’t Anderson Cooper who happened upon any of the snakes in all the wrong places that are the reason for this story.
The main story tonight could well be used as a PSA for the National “Look Before You Sit” campaign. In Hueytown, Alabama, construction worker Willie Harris discovered the dangerous snake in the commode.
P.S. always leave the seat down and the light on. Others have been bitten after blithely sitting down. Fortunately, Mr. Harris saw the snake before they could meet under more intimate terms.
After ascertaining that the snake was no joke, Harris and his boss called 911, and got officer Alice Thompson.
“He said ‘I don’t think you understand how big this is.’ I said ‘OK.’ He said ‘I have a picture of it.’ I said ‘Well, by all means, let us see,” A master of understatement, Thompson said. “It was so much bigger in person.” I wonder how big it is from the rear-view mirror, as you speed off in the opposite direction? As you’ll see, Officer Thompson, a diminutive blonde peacekeeper is no snake expert, but that didn’t deter the gutsy officer. While the two men stayed well out of harm’s way, she devised a way to remove the beast and return him to a more natural habitat than the men’s room.
“She crazy!” said a grateful Harris.
There were two other stories recently in which motorists popped the hood, only to be greeted by large pythons, which had snuggled up to the warm engine block. They’re everywhere, I tell you!
I swear this is true. Beneath this article was a list of ads, beginning with: “Bathroom Decorating Don’ts.”
They can’t possibly know how right they were!
