We believe he was drinking at a party with a different coach from the high school that all the kids thought was cool.

Packing charges saved $225.00 Courier charges saved $100.00 Ambulance charges avoided $500.00 Being bitten by four poisonous African snakes in Arkansas....priceless. A scottish computer programer found just what he was looking for when he happened to learn that you could buy venomous snakes in the US. He reasoned that he could make a great deal of money (about $100.00) purchasing the animals and then selling them in places that prohibited their sale. He had almost all the attributes to make it work. He was a great salesman, he was an expert at computers and knew how to make untraceable purchases over the internet, but his undoing was trying to save a few extra pennies. We catch up to our hero in Little Rock, Arakansas after he has made a great purchase of four valuable snakes (green mamba, black mamba, twig snake, and a forest cobra) over the internet. He knew that this was the place to get the snakes because he heard it was easy to confuse people from Little Rock. His plan began to unravel though when he placed his order. The shipping options from the reputable dealer suggested several costlyt additions to the snake purchase. The suggested that he use certified courier at a cost of $100.00 per snake. He reasoned that he would save the cost of courier by picking up the snakes in his rental car. They also had several shipping options. 1. Packing in an unbreakable kevlar container was $250.00, 2. Packing in a wood box with separate snake compartments was $100.00, and 3. Packing all the snakes together in cardboard was $25.00. He saved quite a bit of money by ordering the choosing the last option. He picked up the snakes at the airport and placed the package under his coat while he walked to his rental car. It was a tight fit and the collapsing box caused all the snakes to bite the offender. He instantly dropped the box. Instead of summoning an ambulance he decided to drive to the hospital. After he drove about a mile, he got out of his car , vomited, and died. More fun at: www.darwinawards.com/ |
