Look before you leak

This just gives me the shivers and it's another reason I don't use the facilities in the dark,

A Texas boy found a rattlesnake in a toilet. Then a snake catcher found 23 more.

Jason McFadden was at work one morning in late January when he got a text message from his wife, Cassie.

“What the crap do I do?” it read.

That text was followed by a picture — of a rattlesnake inside a toilet at their Texas home.

“Like everybody else,” Jason McFadden said, “my jaw dropped.”

McFadden said he recognized the snake was a threat, and told his wife to kill it. She grabbed a broom, he said, in an attempt to block it in the toilet. The snake, which had first been spotted by the couple’s young son, pushed its way out anyway, and slithered onto the floor.

Sparing you the details … rest in peace, toilet snake, which was no match for what came next. There was a garden hoe, a shovel and branch cutters involved. You can get the picture.~snip~
