Snake Bite

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I don't remember the exact date but I believe it was mid to end of Sept 2007.

A plumber working for my cousin was bite in the arm by a rattlesnake.

What happened was, he saw the snake in the road and decided to run it over, after the front end of his pickup was over the snake, he wanted to see if he had killed it. So he opened his door to look under his truck, as he leaned out his cell phone dropped to the ground, he just reached down under the truck (where the still very alive and pissed off snake was), to pickup his phone, and he got bite by the snake.

A personal note: After hearing about this from my dad, I said this had to be a Darwin Award.
