What would you do if..........................

[Fat Pang]

.............you were sat in a bar, pint in hand, watching your beloved Newcastle United getting thumped by Manchester United, and a geriatric old British colonial walked into the bar with a 7ft long dead snake on a stick and tried to drape it round your neck?

Beat the ....... out of him.

I thought about that, but the geriatric bit meant that I thought it a little unfair. The proprietor ended up manhandling him out the door.

Apparently he'd been walking through the village high street with it. It'd been dead for a couple of days so you can imagine the smell...........................

He lives just down the hill from me and he's a colonial relic, walks around in his khakis and polo shirt, has a young(ish) chinese girlfriend, and sounds like he just stepped off a period British film set. He's a bit of a character, but what possessed him to pick the frigging thing up and walk into the bar with it is beyond me.

Strangle him with the snake.

Why I'd thank him for the gift, invite him to sit down, buy him a pint, and ask him to tell me his life's story. Now that would be a treat. Imagine what he could tell you. "There I was, sailing under Jellyco, not far off the Danish shore. Dead ahead was the Jerry fleet...."

dead snake on a stick

Damnit! I ordered Haggis, not a Serpent-kabob!
