And you thought YOU were having a bad day...
I think Samuel L. Jackson planted this item....
(Charleston, W. Va.-AP) June 2, 2006 - The much-talked-about movie "Snakes on a Plane" doesn't open until August, but Monty Coles doesn't have to see it. He's lived it.
At about 3,000 feet in the air on Saturday, he discovered a four-and-a-half-foot black snake peering out at him from the instrument panel of his Piper Cherokee.
He'd already been preparing to land in southern Ohio after a flight from West Virginia.
He tried to swat the snake, but it just fell to his feet under the rudder pedals, and then darted to the other side of the cockpit.
So, while flying the plane with one hand, Coles grabbed the snake behind its head with his other hand, even as it coiled around his arm.
Next, he told the control tower he needed emergency landing clearance, and that he had "one hand full of snake and the other hand full of plane." [Is this not a GREAT title for a country song? I must record it.]
He says he was cleared right in.
Coles made a smooth landing, then posed for pictures with the snake, before letting it loose.

Seriously, this is one bad-ass clerk! She is WAY too dedicated to her job...
SOUTH SALT LAKE, Utah (AP) _ A man accused of not paying for his Pop-Tarts had a troubled getaway.
First, the clerk at the convenience store ripped the man's shirt off as they struggled when she confronted him for pocketing the toaster pastries Friday, police said.
Then after the man punched the clerk in the stomach and made it out the door, he was hit by a pickup truck in the parking lot. Police said he got up and kept running _ into the path of a minivan while he was crossing the street. He got up again, but didn't make it far.
"It knocks him to the ground. He gets up and again continues to run, but responding police officers caught up with just a short distance later and he was taken into custody," police Capt. Tracy Tingey said.
Police said the man suffered only minor injuries and refused medical treatment.
George King, 20, was booked for investigation of robbery.
