Bitten in the Outback (A tale from Australia)
‘Gotta take a piss, Bluey.’
‘Mind how you go, Bruce.’
Piddling into a bush, Bruce screams ‘my cock’s been snakebit, Bluey.’
Bluey takes a peep, ‘it looks bad, mate.’
‘If the poison ain’t sucked out immediately, I’ll die, Bluey.’
‘You’ve been a great mate, Bruce, I’m sure gonna miss ya.’
‘Mind how you go, Bruce.’
Piddling into a bush, Bruce screams ‘my cock’s been snakebit, Bluey.’
Bluey takes a peep, ‘it looks bad, mate.’
‘If the poison ain’t sucked out immediately, I’ll die, Bluey.’
‘You’ve been a great mate, Bruce, I’m sure gonna miss ya.’

Too right mate! Forget Australian spiders, it’s the snakes that are really deadly!
Crikey! Poor Bruce, I will sure miss that larrikin!

Thanks for the comment, mate. It's at times like these you find out who your real friends are! ;-)
