CAUTION: Snake Crossing.
Ambulance officers attending
an accident in the NSW Hunter
Valley, recieved a big reptilian
surprise when a 1.5 metre long
red bellied black snake slithered
onto the dashboard of a crashed
vehicle as they were cutting an
injured motorist out of it.
Being quick thinkers, one of the
enterprising ambos fended off the
snake’s advances with a large
stick taken from nearby, whist his
fellow officer worked to free the
patient.
MEANWHILE a UK policeman
recently found himself alo trapped
- by a swarm of 50,000 angry
honey bees.
The officer was trapped for
three hours after having been
called out to assist a driver
hauling 60 boxes of bees whose
car had broken down.
In a statement to the press the
officer admitted he may have
used force on some of his buzzing
assailants saying, “it was more or
less self defence”.
“It was mind boggling how many
bees were out there,” he said.
“At some point, it was hard to
see out of the windows,” he added.
According to authorities, the
bees most likely swarmed the
officer as he got out of the car,
because they had just woken up
and “were hot and bothered.
“They don’t have a queen to
guard and they were kind of
lost,” one expert said.
The bees were eventually
subdued and collected up after a
crack team of emergency apiarists
arrived on the scene with smoke
and water spray guns.
JUST blame the cat!
An English sporting legend,
bowler Graeme Swan, has blamed
his drink driving on his cat.
Swan told the local court that
he jumped in his Porsche after
returning home from a boozy
evening and found his cat trapped
under the floorboards.
Deciding instant action was
needed, he rushed to the
hardware shop to get some tools.
The case continues....
