A very unfunny python

[Celyn]

From http://www.itn.co.uk/news/20010110/world/05python.shtml

A man escaped the clutches of a deadly snake by the skin of his teeth - literally.

South African Lucas Sibanda was on his way to work when he encountered the enormous killer python… The python then began constricting him… Sibanda, 57, sank his teeth into the reptile and kicked and punched until it released its grip. Sibanda killed the snake with a stick, took it to his home near Pretoria and skinned it.

What I can’t decide is whether this is better than “man bites dog” or not. But it must have been fun explaining to the boss.

Heh. I can see the headline now:
