TOXICALLY NASTY SNAKE: I got an excited call from a gal whose hubby had been bitten by a snake -one he had tried to catch on hook and line. Geez, so why did the snake bite him? Duh.

The bitten angler wasn’t a bit worried about the gnarly gash he had gotten from the reptile, but the good wife was dutifully worried sick. She felt the snake might have been – and I swear this was her exact word – a “cottonhead.”
