Fishing story

Finally got around to going fishing this morning but after a while I ran
out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth snake with a frog in his mouth, and
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 snake
without getting bit. I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a
little whiskey in its mouth. His eyes rolled back and he went limp. I
released him into the lake without incident and carried on my fishing with
the frog.

A little later, I felt a nudge on my foot. There was that same
darn snake with two frogs in his mouth.
