The Diaries of an Old Hospital Janitor:

Man versus the Coral Snake -
A man was brought into the ER with three snake bites. One on his finger, one on his thumb, and one on his hand. These were all caused by him picking up a snake in the woods. Coral Snakes are venomous and one bite could kill you. He was bitten three times and didn't die. When asked why he picked up the snake, he told the doctor he thought it would make a good pet and planned on put it in an aquarium in his garage.
