Reporting live from the funny farm airport! Our latest snake fiasco. For the previous snake story, go here!
Steve spotted a four foot snake crossing the airport driveway and hollers, “Snake!” Then out the door he sprints. “I can get it!”
Now, you must understand, when I asked Steve to be a Tarzan and kill the snake, I mean with a shovel. Steve is not a Tarzan type with rippling muscles who can twist a snake’s head off with his bare hands. He’s a short, round pilot with white running shoes. However, his shoes have never actually reached sprint mode before, nor Steve for quite some time.
Nonetheless, I excitedly dash out the door, camera in hand, to photograph the killing of the beast, but what I witness is Steve lunging toward the hard concrete fast. I thought, WOW, he’s actually tackling the snake. Nice dive, dude! My next thought was, but what if the snake is poisonous.
When I reach his side, he’s lying on the concrete holding his wrist. First, I look for the snake just in case the beast is lying nearby and has reared its ugly head. Then I politely ask, “Did he bite you? Are you okay?”
“No, I tripped over my tennis shoes. I was going to catch the snake by the tail, if it wasn’t poisonous, so you could take a picture of it,” Steve admits.
Dear noble pilot, could you please just kill the snake next time, I’m will to photograph a dead species. For now, I have placed a shovel in the front door as a warning for all trespassing snakes — we aim to kill, maybe.
I have enclosed the crime scene below.

As your poor husband … But. I have to admit I started laughing out loud visualizing this… I hope he’s okay.
He’s fine. Slight cut on the pinky and a little ice on the wrist and he’s off doing whatever men do!
God Bless You!
Lady D . ..thank you for my laughs today! Apologies to hubby . . .but so funny! haha! God bless you and prosper you over the snakes!
Hello, Debbie. Too funny not to tell!
I told Steve your like a weeble-wobble. He said, “Except I fell down.”
God Bless You!
I am sorry for your Tarzan but I am laughing!
It’s okay, Cathy! Me too!
God Bless You!
I’m glad Steve’s all right! Personally, I think he’s nuts to get within shovel distance of a snake! Brrr!
I’m with you, Ted. They are creepy, slimy critters!
God Bless You!
Perhaps Lady Dei , if it had been me , I`m sure the most affected part of me as a man in this episode ,would have been my dignity. Still Steve full marks for trying mate.

He gets points for trying, Ron. We’ve been laughing and joking over the episode for two days now.
He says there are body parts hurting today that he didn’t know he owned.
God Bless You!
We (husbands and men in general) don’t always follow through well, but most of the time our intentions are good. Thanks Dei, and glad he’s ok.
Hello, Bill. Steve’s doing fine. Sometimes men need to realize their not as agile as they once were.
Thanks for stopping by!
Very funny- I liked the part about his shoes nor him reaching sprinting speed in a while
He thinks he needs new shoes now.
You really need to submit this stuff to NBC! I’m promising you there’s a reality show in the works here.
Laughing, Mike. I definitely think we have a crazy airport!
God Bless You!
