Snake in the Bathroom!!


Friday a lady comes out of one of the community showers and went to one of the most unlikely staff, S, to report there was a snake in the bathroom. Typically S, would walk as fast as he is capable of walking, in the other direction. They did report it to some of the Grounds Crew. Four of The Crew lined up at the bathroom door. They would watch through the cracked door, slam it and jump back. Wait a minute and then crack the door open.

One of the Grounds Crew got a shovel. This is ideal for killing a snake in an all tile bathroom, don't you think? Another member of The Crew got a rake. A third member of The Crew got a pair of hedge clippers. What are you going to do with a pair of hedge clippers when chasing a snake in the bathroom? Then another truck full of Grounds Crew show up. Back to their viewing posts at the cracked door. One of The Crew members enter the bathroom at a time, with his friends viewing from their post behind the cracked door.

Then the snake is hanging his head down the vent when all of the sudden he falls! He fell right in to the toilet. One of The Crew members, in his infinite wisdom yells, "Flush! Flush! Hurry, Flush!!" They flush the snake right down the toilet. There is speculation the snake may come back to bite someone on the ass when s/he's sitting on the crapper! The saga waits.

As told by a neighbor, since I unfortunately was no witness to the snake chasing incident.
