From The Cairns Post down under.
A roadside toilet stop ended in pain, embarrassment and almost death for a tourist when a highly venomous snake bit the end of his penis."So, Glen, how was your trip to Australia? Did you see any of those huge snakes? Do you have pictures to show us?"
The deadly brown snake slithered between his legs and lunged at his manhood as he crouched on a roadside near Laura, 300km northwest of Cairns, about a month ago. Details of the incident only came to light yesterday after they were confirmed by a paramedic.
"It certainly had a swipe at him," an ambulance spokesman said yesterday. "But it didn't envenomate him.
"As it came through it must have got a bit of a shock."
The snake beat a hasty retreat, leaving its victim with a scratch, vomiting and abdomen pain. Emergency workers raced to the scene to treat the man. The wound was wrapped in plastic in case poison had penetrated the skin but medical staff gave the man the all-clear after conducting tests.
He was taken to Cooktown Hospital where he spent a night recovering.
The ambulance spokesman described him as "lucky", given his near encounter with one of Australia's most poisonous snakes. "I think he was a bit shocked and embarrassed," he said.

This brings new meaning to "you wanna see the snake in my pants?"
See what happens when you squat to pee..?
Fella don't want to get a snake bitten knob, fella better stand up and pee like a man.
Bet he was German - males there are encouraged to'sitzpinkel' (pee while sitting)
Did any one try to suck the poison out?
