Last bleeping time I'll ever played golf

[EXPAT0149]

Jack your supposed to use the stick thingy to hit the ball not the snake

[Jack Cook]

The freaking snake was bigger than the sticky thing that I used to hit the ball in the water.
I learned 3 important things that day.
1. Florida + H2O= snake
2. If you hit the ball into the water just let it go and move on with your life.
3. I really hate golf

Florida + H2O = Snake is correct.
Florida + H2O = Alligator is also very correct.

Believe it or not, the below story is also from today in Central Florida.

Small Plane Crashes In Lake Jessup
Thursday, April 10, 2008 1:37:02 PM

SANFORD -- A small experimental seaplane has crashed and sunk into Lake Jessup.

Authorities said the pilot, who lives along the lake, reported trouble
before crashing around 8:45 a.m.

Alisa Keyes, of the Seminole County Fire-Rescue said two seaplanes
attempted to take off from the lake when one hit something and flipped over.
A witness said the plane might have hit an alligator.

Keyes said a boater saw the crash and rushed to help the pilot, which
was particularly important in Lake Jessup because it has a large
population of alligators.

Keyes said the pilot was treated on the scene for head and leg injuries
and then airlifted to Orlando Regional Medical Center.

Probably should've done a better job filling it up!

[gary1954]

better job filling it up...THAT IS FUNNY.....Any ways Jack, Having lived in the south for most of my life,
when it comes to snakes,
I have discovered that there only two kinds of snakes......
There are rattle snakes.....
There are snakes that eat Chickens....
If you see a snake
that doesn't have a Chicken in it's mouth...
..Its Got to be a rattle snake...

Sam Richardson once hit a cow with his SeeBee. Does that count
