I went fishing one morning down by the lake, but after a short time I ran out of prawn bait. Bugger!
Then I saw a red-belly black snake with a frog in its mouth. I said to it, Good on yer, Cobber. (Frogs are really good barramundi bait.)
Knowing that the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth, I grabbed him right behind the head.
I took the frog off the fangs, and put it in my bait bucket.
Now the problem was; how to release the snake without getting bitten.
So, I grabbed my travellers bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and poured a moderate amount of whiskey into its mouth.
The snakes eyes rolled back and it went limp.
I released it without further incident and carried on fishing, using the frog as bait.
A little later I felt a nudge on my foot. It was that bloody snake again, with two more frogs.
