For some reason, I've not looked in here for quite a while.
I spotted this on the New England Honda Guys forum and thought it worth sharing.

Finally got around to goin' fishin' this morning but after a while
I ran out of worms. Then I saw a cottonmouth with a frog in his
mouth, and frogs are good bass bait.
Knowing the snake couldn't bite me with the frog in his mouth,
I grabbed him right behind the head, took the frog and put it in
my bait bucket.
Now the dilemma was how to release the snake without getting bit.
I grabbed my bottle of Jack Daniels and poured a little whiskey in
its mouth. His eyes rolled back, he went limp, I released him into
the lake without incident, and carried on my fishin' with the frog.
A little later I felt a nudge on my foot.
There was that same snake with two frogs in his mouth.
