Snake Bites Man Sitting on Toilet

beneteau

"Toilet snake" has one meaning for plumbers and a very different meaning for a Taiwanese man who was bitten on the genitals by a snake as he sat on his toilet. The Taipei Times reports that the man now suffers from a phobia of toilets.

According to the Daily Telegraph , the 51-year-old man, who has only been identified by the last name Lin, "suddenly felt a knife-like pain and reacted instinctively by standing up" as soon as he sat down. When he looked down, he saw a snake sitting in his toilet. The yellow and black snake is believed to be a species of rat snake, which is not poisonous. "If it were a poisonous snake, Lin would be lucky to be alive," his doctor was quoted as saying in the Taipei Times.

Read the complete story, the snake was thought to have gotten into the septic line by a crack in the septic tank lid.
And he releases the snake back outside, hope he repaired the lid.

When I went to the hospital to have my son, my mom watched my daughter, who was four at the time. I told her our bedtime ritual was to watch some nice, non-stimulating television, usually a nature show.

I come home from birthing my son and my daughter is suddenly terrified to sit on the toilet. She is scared to death of snakes coming up though the toilet. I asked my mom about it, and sure enought, the night I was in the hospital birthing her brother, my mom let her watch a show in which they featured snakes that come up through toilet pipes.

So, I invented "snake prevention spray," which was actually only Windex. Point it into the toilet and spray before you go. This will keep the snakes at bay.[;)]

We still laugh about this.[:D] Or rather, only I do. Actually, her two uncles still laugh at her about it, too....

I had (past tense) an aunt who got up in the night to go to the bathroom. She switched on the light to see a rat standing on the toilet seat and jump into the bowl and swim away down the sewer drain. That kind of freaked her out for quite a while.
