LEWISTON, Idaho – A man said he reached down to pick up a stick lying in the gardening aisle of a Wal-Mart in Idaho, only to discover that it was a rattlesnake that then bit his hand.

Mica Craig said he was shopping in the outdoor garden department of a Lewiston store when he was bitten Saturday. The 47-year-old man from Clarkston, Wash., says it latched onto his hand and that he screamed and managed to shake loose the snake and stomped it to death.

The Lewiston Tribune reports a bystander drove Craig to a local emergency room. Craig said he was treated with six bags of anti-venom and was told that his hand could be permanently disfigured.

“Every time I got to Walmart to pick up a couple rattle snakes, they’re sold out.”

Pity, it's one of the few American made products they have.

Probably, the logic involves not knowing if the size of one’s member requires the extra large, the gigantic, or the humongous size (there are three sizes, maybe? How should I know?).

Yikes that is in my area. I heard it on the radio yesterday, yet couldn’t make out where it happened. Now I know.

This is why I live in Western Washington. NO POISONOUS SNAKES. Just stupid liberals.

Is there a difference??

That’s priceless. Yeah, our reaction when we saw the snake/twig was about as graceful as Dance’s. Thankfully there was no water nearby to fall into.

Yes, one is a dirt crawling, ugly looking, low on the evolutionary scale reptilian who’s every intent is to do you harm.
The other is a snake.
