The ultimate test of friendship struck two Scottish men while holidaying in Tasmania recently.
Jackson Scott, a 29-year-old musician, was squatting in the dark, answering the call of nature, when a snake bit him on his private parts.
His first solution was to beg his mate Roddy Andrews to suck the venom out.
Roddy refused, instead driving his mate to Hobart on a 40-minute life-or-death mission where doctors were able to give him the anti venom and save him.
Jackson said he was bitten because he tried to save water by using the garden at 4am after a night at the pub.
“Just as I finished and was about to tuck everything safely away, it bit me,” The Sun has reported Jackson as saying.
“I had my pants around my knees when I hobbled into Roddy’s bedroom. My heart was racing and I was hallucinating.
“Needless to say, Rod was not of a mind to suck the poison out!”
Nova FM’s Fitzy tested his mate Wippa with that hypothetical this morning and while Wippa initially said he wouldn’t do it 'the quick way', he eventually changed his mind adding: “actually, if you can get a snake in here right now...”
