LEWISTON, Idaho
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.
He said doctors expect him to remain hospitalized until Tuesday.

anybody care to place a bet that in the next week or so we hear a story about a man suing walmart for getting his hand bit by a snake?

[Dan Barlow]

I hate it when that happens. Just ruins the rest of the day!

[A/Fuel]

That's why I always tell the kids everytime, "If it's not yours, don't touch it!"

[SuperBuickGuy]

my sick self wonders what the code is for "customer bit by snake, beat snake to death, and left the store"

[oldsman496]

That guy needs a new eyeglass prescription... or to quit drinking so much... dang.

[Brian Lohnes]

I am thinking these two thoughts crossed through the man's head:

"That stick done moved!"

"That stick done bit me!"

All Walmart would've had to do was put up one of these signs.

Geez!

[Mater]

that's a cobra guy could of still sued :P

sadly it's not really a joke even though it is

[SuperBuickGuy]

yeah, but it's walmart being sued, and really, they're used to it - what they failed to do was tell their shoppers that there were other snakes in the store beside the ones that wear ties.

[Mater]

that is true i do not care if wall-mart gets sued but the onslaught of warning signs that will fallow if it happens

just like at mc ds when you get a coffee it says hot in 12 different languages all over the cup now

A couple questions:

A: Since when did Wal-mart start selling 'sticks'?

2: What kind of Wal-mart shopper would pick up anything that didn't have a "discount price tag" firmly attached?

Name brands are cheaper there by a good margain, here in the sticks... I stay away grom their brands when I am THINKING... Unfortunately not often...
