The church we have been attending on and off for the last couple of years has a young, 32 year old pastor who happens to be deathly afraid of snakes.
With the shoulder surgery, and some other health related problems, he has helped out a lot in the yard at my house.
One day last year we were by a shrub near the pool when a frog jumped out and into the pool. He went running away waving his hands in the air yelling: "Oh my God; Oh my God". He stopped about 20 yards away and said in an excited voice: "was that a snake?". I told him it wasn't, it was just a frog and get the net so we can get rid of him. (Personally, I wouldn't kill a frog, but my wife had one that she said tried to get inside her bathing suit, so I have to kill them).
Have you seen the insurance commercial with the rattlesnake and the rabbits? What they are touting is that they will pay for genuine replacement parts. So the snake has a baby rattle tied to its tail, and the rabbits are laughing at it.
Well, the men of the church, sans me (I don't like to fish), are going on a fishing trip in a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks ago I sent the Pastor an e-mail about the problem with Texas rattlesnakes is that they have stopped warning because of the feral pigs eating them.
Sunday a bunch of the men were standing around after church and talking about rattlesnakes and how they like to hide in the rocks.
Pastor was over brushing my swimming pool yesterday and while climbing around on the rocks he was thinking about snakes. Suddenly a duck jumps out of the bushes and into the pool. He said it about gave him a heart-attack. The best is yet to come.
I told one of the guys, who loves to pick on Pastor, about the commercial. Since his wife recently had a baby, he has rattles available. You know where this is going...
I told him at an opportune time on their 3 day fishing trip to shake the rattle, yell out rattlesnake and run a few steps. Then turn around and watch and see how far pastor gets before he stops. New Mexico?
You know, I don't think I'm going to church enough - I'm still evil.
