Great text from my wife this morning
 

Got this just after she woke up. She was a little flustered:

"Holy sh*t, f*&^ing giant snake in my bush."

LMAO - 4-5 foot snake in the bush in front of the house. Figuring out what to use to kill it.

Call animal control and let them deal with it...tell them you think it's a cobra...might get them out there quicker...then again, maybe it will make them drive slower...who the hell wants to deal with a cobra? :lol:

Then again, some guys getting a text like that might be calling a divorce attorney, and not animal control... :lol:

(sorry, I just had to...) :lol: :lol:

That's what makes the text so funny.

I won't call animal control. Too many options at home - bayonet, k bar, 9 mil, 12 gauge, or AK. And I'm outside the city limits so I can shoot any of em. Probably just gonna go with the k bar though.

Great text from my wife this morning
 

Why kill it at all? Don't know what part of the country you're from, but on my farm the snakes kill small rodents and other pests. Just about all of them are harmless to humans; besides, the cats like to play with them!

She didn't say she wanted it killed. :p

She wants it dead, she made that very clear in the follow up phone call. And when your 7.5 month pregnant wife wants a snake dead, its probably a good idea to kill it.

You know, that's why I don't hav a cell/blackberry, etc.

You can't believe how quickly and funny this stuff comes out. Like idgits sending out pix of their uhhh... "giant snake"...:lol:

Heard the same story last night from a ( soon to be divorced) neighbour, who received a pic. What possesses guys to send them ? :(

Sorry, that was the city slicker in me talking...

AK would be overkill, but might be the most enjoyable overall... :lol:

And while you are killing it you could imagine it was your "favorite" politician.

Rodney Dangerfield (rest his soul):

"My wife phoned me other day and told me to hurry home...she found a new position. When I got home the position had been filled!"
Hey...no respect.

Come on, LS. Just determine what kind of snake it is, and pick the damn thing up.

Geez...

When I was a kid (growing up in FL) we'd see small snakes in our back yard EVERY DAY. Granted, 4+' snakes we wouldn't see more than a couple of times each month. I'd just go out and add them to my collection.

Think of how educational it would be for the kids.

That's me with my indigo snake when I was like 10 years old. That snake eventually grew to 7'6". At one time I had about 30 or 40 other snakes, most that I caught myself.

Over the years I brought home a small alligator, a skunk, a great blue heron, and the best of all, a 40-lb alligator snapping turtle.

This one is just about the same size as the one I brought home:

LOL - I remember that I couldn't get it out of the pool.

Here is how big they CAN get:

And just for the record, lest my last reply be taken the wrong way (there is no other way to take it other than the wrong way now that I read it...lol), I get pangs of guilt killing a carpenter ant or spider that happens to wander into the house...personally, I would have to find some non-lethal means to rid my domain of a snake...(then again, would I be saying the same thing if I had access to the arsenal at lsbets' disposal? :lol: :eek: :lol: )

It sounds like she threw a HISSSSSSSSSSSYYYYYY Fit

Shovel?...

Everything else seems a wee bit sadistic.
