The snake's a lousey shot!

Hey, shots! Officer, would you like a shot?


My apologies!

 

[Barnabas]

Awesome!

Maybe a verse about the radioactive powder:

He wants to show kids a Glow-In-The-Dark Snake for Halloween???

Thought it was that fancy protein shake stuff???


Reading the article, seems this was Date Night. So, which one is the Third Wheel here -- the driver, the passenger, or the rattlesnake?

YMMV

Sing to the tune of For He's A Jolly Good Fellow:

My snake is radioactive, my snake is radio active, my snake is radio-aaaccc-cc-tive,
and I'm driving around with a gun!
I'm driving around with a gun!
Female voice: this date is really fun!
Duet: the snake is radioactive, the snake is radioactive, the snake is radio-acc-cc-tive,
and the license plates are expired.

What can I say, I commute & yep my mind wanders....

This was Oklahoma. The only surprise here was that the guy wasn't on an interstate, driving drunk on a riding mower.

 

[Laughing]

Hey! My ancestors moved into Logan County -- when it was County 1.

Not claiming kin to this fun crew, nope.

The article clarifies that the snake was happy....

 

[Laughing]

Oh just bringing this to the top, TGIF!

 

[Filly]

Can't make it up!

Filly got curious and looked this dude up. He told "his side" of the story to a TV news station.

O.K. soooo the snake? A friend gave it to him, and he realized it was about to shed it's skin and well he wanted that skin. No mention if it was the same friend that "gave" him the car. It wasn't stolen.

The radioactive stuff? Mr. Jennings hauls scrap. Yeah so um in your new given to ya car you're hauling this? The open whiskey? Guess he needed a hit?

Moral Mr. Jennings doesn't want us to believe everything we read or hear, and nooooo he never said he was gonna make a "super snake" to cops, but he seems to have that type of humor. JMO

Thanks for the laughs y'all.

 

[Laughing]

Just a bump, hope a few sleuthers can enjoy the irony....

 

[Laughing]

Anyone need to read some vintage humor this morning?

 

[HMSHood]

Now, that is bizarre.

 

[ohemgee.kay925]

I feel like this should be in a Kill Bill movie.

I feel like this should be in a Kill Bill movie.

Some kinda movie, for sure!

Oddly enough you can buy uranium cake on Amazon to use in school and for Geiger counter demonstrations.
Uranium Ore https://a.co/d/6rmBsxM

I know this because I teased my brother I was going to buy it for my newborn nephew as “baby’s first uranium”.
