ANOTHER TALL TALE FROM AUSTRALIA


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.
