Subject: Snakes alive in Oklahoma Simpson country

Remember the Simpsons' episode where the townsfolk of [...] go snake hunting and Lisa and family provide shelter for the snakes against the epidemic of snake hate... well, here's a gem from Oklahoma where of course the Simpsons live.

An Oklahoma man went into a home improvement store looking for shrubs but left in an ambulance after being bitten by a rattlesnake, officials said on Wednesday.
The victim, described as a 35-year-old male, was shopping on Sunday in a section that sold large trees in the outdoor garden center at a Lowe's store in the northeast Oklahoma town of Broken Arrow when he was bitten by an 18-inch rattlesnake, local fire and rescue officials said.
"The individual had thought that he had hit his hand on a thorn and he discovered that it was a snake," said Lowe's spokeswoman Chris Ahearn, who was relaying information that she received from the store's manager.
