How Not To Impress Women
The following story has a moral: Alcohol and rattlesnakes don't mix.
After drinking a six-pack of beer, Matt Wilkinson of Portland, Ore., decided to impress his girlfriend by sticking a rattlesnake in his mouth. The Associated Press reports:
Wilkinson, 23, had downed a six-pack and his ex-girlfriend asked him for a beer. He handed her one, not realizing the snake was also in his hand."She said, 'Get that thing out of my face,"' Wilkinson said. "I told her it was a nice snake. 'Nothing can happen. Watch."'
So he stuck the snake in his mouth.
"It got a hold of my tongue," he said.
Amazingly, Wilkinson survived, thus sparing himself the posthumous indignity of what would have been a certain Darwin Award. But it was close.
Now, does anyone care to guess why the woman cited in this story is his ex-girlfriend?
