        That's a facepalm moment if ever there was one. The fact his Dad went the same way at about the same age would seem to be a bit of a hint here... :doh: Darwin would undoubtedly be so proud. Our pastor Dwayne[^]* has a southern pentacostal background (he's from Oklahoma) so I'm sure he will just shake his head (and possibly write a sermon on the subject...) when he hears about this particular loon. * At MCC Bournemouth[^]. It makes for some interesting cultural misunderstandings, but we're gradually assimilating him. Based on recent conversations I suspect we are unlikely to convince him Budweiser just isn't worth bothering with though.

        Snake handling makes more sense to me than drinking Budweiser.

          It's not that the rest makes much sense to me, but this:

          [his father] died for what he believed in

          .. wut? Spouting platitudes is bad enough, but it doesn't even apply!

                    Indeed! Heck, even Tooheys probably makes more sense than Budweiser (and as Michael Martin will tell you, that's saying something!).

                                Well accidents happen! If he survived 44 years handling snakes he must be expert of some sort. When you are so accustomed of being around snakes it is quite possible that you will commit a single careless mistake like he did and die. The same thing applies to lot of herpetologists, animal handlers (aka Sigfield and Roy), and people practicing dangerous professions. So I will not call him an idiot. The sight of a snake makes me have nightmare for days so I have respect for anyone who is comfortable with snakes.

                                  It is not handling snakes that makes him an idiot, it is his reasons for doing so, and his reasons for not seeking treatment after being bitten by one. Just like Steve Jobs was an idiot for refusing cancer treatment because he believed he could make it go away by being Steve Jobs.
