Today's ghastly groaner

An old fisherman was fishing in the lake one day when he saw a water snake moving across the water with a frog in its mouth. He had been a fisherman for a long time. He knew the best food for some large fish were frogs. With this thought, the fisherman grabbed the snake from behind and carefully removed the frog from its mouth. He put the frog in his side bag. The fisherman feared the angry snake would bite him, so he grabbed his bottle of homemade whiskey from his pocket and carefully poured two drops into the snake’s mouth. The snake’s eyes shone for just a moment and then it moved away slowly.

A few hours later, the fisherman was about to head home, when he felt something touching his leg.

He looked down and was amazed to see the same water snake with two frogs in its mouth.
