Sandi,....you're a hoot! Love your stories!
As far as killin' snakes....well,.....IF.... some "official whatever"... came to address my claim to have killed a snake.....I'd have to remind him of the sport of B S......you know,.....kinda like the story of my ol' friend,..."Booger Lee"...the story he used to avoid "loss of finances".
He claims that..... he was fishin' on the banks of Lake Livingston one spring mornin'........having succeeded in landing numerous Bass...keeping them in a large wash tub...with some water to keep them alive,......suddenly a Game Warden appeared...as though from nowhere.....and asked BLee "was he havin' any luck?" ,...as he peered down into the tub. Before BL could reply,...the GW exclaimed that Booger...." must have 20-25 bass in the tub"......Booger (knowing the limit was considerably less)... immediately replied......"24 to be exact....and I was about to take them home...... they just finished their rehearsal and they were tired". The GW,... being a bit baffled,....asked,...."what are you talkin' about?" ....to which Booger explained that... "these were his own Trained Bass and that they performed several tricks...."Tail Walking".... "Pond Leaping"..and others.......then said,...."let me show you"....walked over and tipped the tub over....pouring all the contents back into the lake..... After a moment,...the Game Warden asked....."when do the fish start?" Booger replied....."what fish?"
BTW - Dee "removed" another mature Copperhead yesterday evening after raking it out a flower bed! We must be in Copperhead nirvana
