Watch out…Fred’s got one coming for his neck as well!

No, you’ll enjoy this once the hallucinations start!

That Snake bite may be Barney’s kiss of death. He needs a doctor not a comedian.

A snake bite kit would be great. You can get one at REI for under $10. Hint, don’t spring for the ones with the little shaving kit to clear hair away from the bite mark. If poison is in me, get it out, the infection can be treated with antibiotics later.

This reminds me of a joke about a guy who got bitten by a snake on his private parts but everybody knows that joke so I won’t type it in here.

There’s faces in the rocks.

The shrub is smiling

interesting story: a guy had received his grandfather’s old hunting boots after he passed away. Since they fit, he thought he’d wear them when he went hunting. He started feeling somewhat ill, and eventually ended up in the emergency room. Turns out his grandfather was bitten by a rattler many years before, and one of the fangs had broken off and was stuck in the leather upper. It scratched the grandson’s leg, and there was just enough venom still in the fang to make him ill all those years later!

Was Aesop a known fibber?

He need a careful antidote, not a cheerful anecdote.

But laughter is supposed to be the best medicine!
