I've got a friend who was taking a shower in Zimbabwe about 15 years ago. He heard screaming from the guys in the kitchen and stuck his head out of his hut to see what was going on. A young, but mature mail lion was walking around the cook shack, periodically raising up on his hind legs to look through the windows. He locked his doors and shut his shutters and retreated back into the shower as it had a door and a barred window. He'd left his rifle in the truck as the hunting party was just stopping for a quick bite of food and a refreshing shower at midday.

Then he would have crapped his pants if he had any on. One of those skinny, deadly s.o.b. tree snakes (is it Green Tree Snake?) was curled up in the corner, enjoying the showere, too. He killed it with a Prell bottle.

BTW, the PH killed the lion later that evening when it was trying to scrape out a tracker from underneath the Land Rover.

My first night in Africa, the PH told me that before I put on my boots to check them for "spitters" since he and his son had some problems with them curling up in their boots at night (to get the warmth, I guess).

I HATE snakes!


JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

Judge G: I'm with you on snakes. I hate them too, and what could be worse than being in a shower naked with a spitting cobra? (Maybe naked in the shower with a black mamba?-snake that is)

At deer camp in South Texas during August, I was second in line for a shower. As you can imagine, it was hot and the shower was feeling great. I had just gotten lathered up...soap on my face and over my eyes and I here the drain cover shift.

In the process of rinsing my face, I feel an odd sensation on my ankle....open my eyes and there is a 3 foot snake coming up out of the drain!!! TALK ABOUT AN EVENT FROM A NIGHTMARE.

I did not move a muscle other than leaning against the shower wall and yelling OH F**K!!! My wife and the other guys run in to see me butt naked pointing the where the snake slithered off. They looked at me like I was full of poop when I told them it was 3 ft long.....until they saw it slither out of a hole in the wall and into some cactus.

Tossed a few beers back that night and threatened to KILL anyone who touched me in the night.

Come to find out the same thing had happened to a guest 2 years before and they never fixed the plug.

2 weeks after me, it happened to another guy who grabbed a shovel in toime to kill it. It ended up being a harmless coach whip......unless you count the years of life I lost due to the SHOCK.

The drain has since been fixed but even at my house and in any other shower, I find it difficult to close my eyes!!!

Intential and/or negligent infliction of emotional distress. Cool That's tough not being able to shower with your eyes closed and preventing soap from getting in them. Big Grin
