Went fishing this morning but after a short time I ran out of worms.
Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his mouth.
Frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth,
I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in my bait bucket.
Now, the dilemma was how to release the mocassin without getting bit.
So I grabbed my flask of Jim Beam and poured a bit of whiskey in the snake's mouth.
His eyes rolled back and he went limp.
I released him back into the lake and went on fishing.
A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.
Life is good in the South
