AUSTRALIA: Man, bitten by deadly snake, grabs cold beer and hopes for the best.

Rod’s reaction was to grab his shovel and “whack it on the head”.

As soon as he was done with the snake, he called an ambulance, grabbed a beer from the fridge and sat down.

“I said to myself, if I’m going to cark it I’m going to have a beer, so I got a Goldie out of the fridge and drank that; ’cause you know eastern browns are the second most venomous snake in the world,” Rod said

Rod’s teenage son was on the couch and slept through the whole thing because Rod didn’t want to wake him and make anyone panic.

“If you panic it makes it worse,” he said.

Well, I suppose the beer helps you stay calm.
