When you aren't smart enough to leave well enough alone



Two quick snake stories: I've caught two venomous snakes in my life. An Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake when I was stationed in Meridian Mississippi and a Sand Viper when stationed in Kuwait in 2006.

The sand Viper on base almost got shot which would have gotten a lot of people in trouble because you don't discharge weapons on base. However, a lot of men are deathly afraid of snakes.

So with no fewer than 10 pistols and rifles aimed at this snake, I asked one of the men for their rifle and he reluctantly gave it to me. I checked the chamber and this dumb son of a bitch gave me a rifle with a round chambered.

I ejected the round, scolded the dumbass, put the butt of the rifle on the snake's head and picked it up.

"Godofwine you're fucking crazy." "That ninja think he's the black crocodile Hunter"

I held it up for everyone to see keeping a firm grasp on the snake's head, had a buddy of mine empty out and ammo container and put the snake in the ammo container and walked at about a half mile up the road, dumped the ammo container on the ground, recaptured the snake and threw it over the fence

( I used an ammo container and risked recapturing the snake because I didn't want my hand to cramp up and potentially lose grip on the snake during the trip. If you lose grip on a venomous snake, that's yo ass)

Funny shit is, when I went to the Medics tent to see how much antivenin they had on base, these motherfuckers told me they didn't have any. That there is antivenin on the main base which was over an hour away...so had I or anyone else been bitten that would have been IT.

Very quietly, over the next couple days they flew anti-venin out to each of the different satellite bases.

Luckily for me, I'm pretty Adept at handling snakes, even the venomous ones
