Snake Bites Woman Walking Through Wal-Mart Garden Center

wait for it.....

<snip>

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- All she wanted was a flower, but instead a woman said she got a snake bite.

Delaine Jarrell was looking through the plants in the garden center at a Jacksonville Wal-Mart on Wednesday, when a snake sunk its fangs into her arm and didn't let go without a fight.

"He finally broke loose and, thank goodness for sweat pants with elastic on them, because he tried to climb up my britches' leg," Jarrell said.

Jarrell went to the emergency room two days later when she noticed red streaks running down her arm.

Fortunately, the snake wasn't poisonous.

5. It's not bad fashion, it's a safety precaution.

3. "Jarrell went to the emergency room two days"

:wtf:
Waiting two days after receiving a bite wound? Especially with a good chance of having WalMart paying the bill?

4. I wouldn't have gone if it wasn't a poisonous snake.

I've been bitten by a few snakes. I know how to properly get the snake how to let go. Hell, my one bearded dragon draws blood on me about twice a week. He's very friendly, but gets really excited with food. Sometimes he grabs the food, sometimes he grabs my hand.

Of course, if it was a chance to get money from Wal-Mart then I'd probably make a huge deal out of it.
