Introduction

Came from a line on a snake documentary by an amazing bloke Steve Irwin. "I'm gonna show you the world's 10 deadliest snakes" he said, " and they all, luckily, live right here in Australia" he beamed. At that point, me and the missus abandoned all ideas of emigrating.

Snakebite

The flying doctor's phone rang...
"Jeez, what should I do,
I've been bitten by a cobra,"
"I'll get straight there to you.

In the meantime restrict the blood flow,
To the affected site,
Make yourself a tourniquet,
And pull it real tight "

So the doc' he got there quickly,
But the guy was strangled, dead...
He'd put the tourniquet around his neck,
He'd been bitten in the head.
