A buddy sent this to me...thought it was worth sharing!
I went fishing this morning but after a short time, I ran out of worms.
Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth. (For all y'all Northerners and City Folk, a "cottonmouth" is a water moccasin -- one of the meanest venomous snakes in North America.)
Frogs are good bass bait. 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 bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit. So, I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp. I released him into the lake without incident and carried on fishing using the frog.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same cottonmouth, with two frogs in his mouth.
Life is good in the South.
Not very factual...but funny anyway!
