100 Post Marathon #18

Only a pet lover will understand this: Man saves dog by sucking snake venom from his nose

A man said he saved his dog’s life after sucking venom from a rattlesnake bite out of the animal’s nose. Bobby Jenkins said he began feeling ill after getting his dog, Tank, to a veterinarian. He went to the hospital and received a dose of antivenin.

I bet Bobby’s glad the snake bit Tank on the nose. I’m just sayin’

You may have had some friends like these in high school or college. Of course if you’re reading this, probably not.

Two men accused of setting their friend’s groin on fire were sentenced to jail and prison this week.

Matthew Craig Pillers, 22, and Jack Brent Nicholas Keiffer, 19, pleaded no contest to felony causing a fire that leads to great bodily injury, according to court officials.

The men routinely drank together and played practical jokes on each other. That night one of them poured cologne on Tuleja’s groin area while he was passed out and allegedly lit his pants on fire, according to prosecutors. Tuleja suffered second-and third-degree burns on his testicles and third-degree burns on his inner thighs.

Alcohol was involved? Who would have guessed. I’m also guessing that Tuleja won’t be throwing his buddies a get out of jail party.

I will go out on a limb and guess that alcohol and/or drugs were involved.

A Reading man climbed atop a moving minivan Friday on the West Shore Bypass, stood on the roof and rode the vehicle until it crashed and catapulted him into the woods, West Reading police reported.

Witnesses told police that the man then climbed up an embankment, stripped naked and ran several hundred yards down the busy highway bleeding from a foot-long gash in his side.

My favorite quote from the story is this.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in 22 years,” West Reading police Detective Joseph M. Brown said of the 3 p.m. incident. “It is not a common call we get as police.”

It’s not common to get a call about a man riding on top of his van, crashing, and then stripping naked before running down the highway? Who’d a thought?

The other obvious observation.

Brown said the investigation continues and police are awaiting the results of toxicology tests.

I bet they are. Bizarre.
