What on earth goes on in that Australian outback, anyway? We have a story today about police down there seeing a driver swerving, so they pull him over to give him an alcohol test, which he fails.
At this point the drunk guy decides he wants to defend himself, but what should he use as a weapon? Why, this live snake in the highway should do nicely, he figures.
“The driver allegedly armed himself with a live snake, pointed the head of the reptile at them and threatened them,” police said. You can see where this is going. Here’s the story:

One comment so far
We’re awfully tired of folks in the states painting a picture of Australia as a place only inhabited by snakes, crocodiles and Peter Pan like men overzealously yelling “Crikey” or “Mate, put another shrimp on the barbee”… As seen on Entertainment Tonight, Oprah and The View you can come to the link at http://www. mysummer.com and view the many interesting photos that sun and fun loving Australians and New Zealands of all types have uploaded and shared to the MYSUMMER.com website. We’d love to see y’all on our warm and friendly beaches some time soon!
