The Snake Wrangler

Here's the story: As I was driving to Stuart and Dev's place I passed a large snake in the middle of the road. It was coiled up and looked like a rattler, so I decided to turn around and run over it - please don't call PETA. I wouldn't normally do that, but there was a path for joggers right beside the road. Can you imagine the reaction from a woman who might be pushing a stroller??? Not good. So, I ran over it. I figured I flattened it, but when me and Stu went back to look it was still alive in the road. By this time cars were stopping to look and we decided the best thing to do was get it off the road...but, we didn't know how.

This is where my incredible van comes into play. About a week ago I picked up some lumber out of a dumpster and thankfully it was still in my van (I was going to try to use a tennis racket, but Stu talked me out of it). As you can see in the video I wasn't man enough to pick the snake up by the head, instead, I opted to throw it with the piece of wood. After getting the snake out of the road it made its way back to the brush. Problem solved.

I put the video on here because there aren't many times a person gets to play with a snake like that. I must admit that I felt a little less manly for not picking it up with my hands. The guy from 'Man vs. Wild' would probably laugh at this...in disgust, not because it's funny.
