FROG MAN Posted October 6, 2008 #1 Posted October 6, 2008 Working in the shop today I stepped in the mens room to wash up. I was only in there for a minute and when I opened the door to come out guess what? There laid a copper head snake in front of the door. I hollered for my secretary. I'm stuck in the john come and get me. Oh yea and bring a hoe. Someone left the bay door cracked again. The last one got in my office.
BuddyRich Posted October 6, 2008 #2 Posted October 6, 2008 I hate surprises like that. Makes you wanna go to the bathroom again.
Yama Mama Posted October 6, 2008 #3 Posted October 6, 2008 It sounds like you were pretty calm about the whole situation. And does your secretary always have a hoe near by? Yama Mama
spotsy Posted October 6, 2008 #4 Posted October 6, 2008 He was just looking for a warm friend and all he got was a hoe. LOL Glad it turned out ok. We have a few of them out here as well. Been lucky the last few years and have not seen any of them. Maybe they got the message there not welcome. :-)
Yammer Dan Posted October 6, 2008 #5 Posted October 6, 2008 Killed a 53 inch Copperhead on my place few years ago. Anyone that knows trhese things that is a MONSTER. got a couple every year for 5 or 6 years and haven't seen one for few years til this year and got one about 6 inches long. Haven't got any inside yet. Not looking forward to it.
hipshot Posted October 6, 2008 #6 Posted October 6, 2008 for what it's worth, i did a LOT of research on copperheads, a couple of years ago. i had killed one that was 34 inches long, and was curious as to how big they actually get. anything over about 23 to 25 inches long, is a BIG copperhead. there has NEVER been a recorded FATALITY, from a copperhead bite! they WILL make you sicker'n a dog, and you may think you're gonna die, but so far , no deaths recorded. just jt

pegscraper Posted October 6, 2008 #8 Posted October 6, 2008 Be careful when you rake those fall leaves. Can you spot the copperhead in the first picture? If not, look at the second picture.
Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2008 #9 Posted October 7, 2008 They will cause me to have a heart attack... Those probally aren't recorded but probally have happened!
juggler Posted October 7, 2008 #10 Posted October 7, 2008 Just passing by and overhearing that conversation could give you a different impression of what was really happening. The boss opens the bathroom door calling for his secretary to come in and help him and to bring a ho. If ones wife overheard that it could get you into a lot of trouble.
Yama Mama Posted October 7, 2008 #11 Posted October 7, 2008 Juggler you have a good point there. All hoes are not in the garden you know. Yama Mama:hurts:
hipshot Posted October 7, 2008 #12 Posted October 7, 2008 Juggler you have a good point there. All hoes are not in the garden you know. Yama Mama:hurts: you mean like a NAVAJO, and an ARAPAHO, and a DETROIT-ho? just jt
FROG MAN Posted October 7, 2008 Author #13 Posted October 7, 2008 I use to carry a .22 target pistol loaded with bird shot. I have had to shoot my way in to equipment buildings before just to work. One building use to have a big black snake in it I worked around him many times. One day I went in and he had disappeared and three copper heads were waiting on me. This is a bad year for snakes.
Redneck Posted October 7, 2008 #14 Posted October 7, 2008 Holly sheep dip. A second genner would have just whipped out his jack knife and carved up some snake kabobs. I can just see you now standing on top of the crapper squealing as your secretary comes to the rescue.:rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf::rotf: Sorry froggy I could not resist.
FROG MAN Posted October 7, 2008 Author #15 Posted October 7, 2008 Redneck a electronic tech carries a dull knife for wire stripping. It's easier on the thumbs. I was gonna step on it's head but decided to have some fun with the secretary. She swings a mean hoe. My grandpa almost died from a copper head bite. He was in so much misery he about O.D. on whiskey..

brscooter Posted October 7, 2008 #17 Posted October 7, 2008 You sure the secretary didn't put it there? Maybe a raise is in order.
SilvrT Posted October 7, 2008 #18 Posted October 7, 2008 I really, really wanted to comment about bathrooms and a "snake" but I won't.....
Gene-b Posted October 7, 2008 #19 Posted October 7, 2008 I really, really wanted to comment about bathrooms and a "snake" but I won't..... Just how does "copper head" come into play here:crackup: Gene

Yama Mama Posted October 7, 2008 #22 Posted October 7, 2008 OK boys, back to the subject of Froggie's near death experience in the bathroom with the hoe. Yama Mama
Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2008 #23 Posted October 7, 2008 I got caught once in a bathroom with a hoe. I did hear something about a snake...
Yammer Dan Posted October 7, 2008 #24 Posted October 7, 2008 And this was before Warden. I'm still breathing!!
Gene-b Posted October 7, 2008 #25 Posted October 7, 2008 I got caught once in a bathroom with a hoe. I did hear something about a snake... So did the bathroom you were in have a copper head like Frog's? I hear those are real expencive. But if you can afford the hoe you can afford a copper head!
