Good thing. There wouldn't be any employees around to help anyway.

I've been in a Lowe's garden center before.

Really makes you think.

Do you really want Home Depot employees assisting with your snake bite?

4 1/2 feet does seem a bit much but the copperheads in that part of the country do get quite a bit bigger than the ones we see in the Deep South.

I need to go to Lowe's and sell them the service of my Aussie Shepherd. She finds and slays copperheads, and has never been bit yet.

I have fond memories of my great grandma killing a rattlesnake in my Pow-Pows front yard with a (gardening) ho.

She's probably been bit once or twice and has built immunity to them and you didn't even know.

Dogs can handle that shite.

Well you would have shite your pants , my wife bought some bananas at Winn Dixie and I noticed a big cob web after taking a banana off the bunch , upon further inspection they had what appeared to be a lot of little egg looking things inside the cob web , I took it outside opened the garbage can and poked it with a pen I had in my pocket , well around 100 little spiders started crawling out that thing .....I'm just glad it happened outside ...
