An ambulance rushed William Dickinson [Mickey?] to the busy emergency room at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center in Plains Township on Tuesday after he was bitten by a black snake at the Mountain Laurel Golf Club in White Haven.

The 51-year-old Jim Thorpe resident was treated immediately and a doctor prescribed antibiotics.

"I was seen in five minutes," he said. "I'm OK."

When asked why his dumb ass went to the ER over a friggin blacksnake bite, he replied "Well, I heard of this one here feller on PAFOA that was gonna shoot some deadly attacking garters, and well....we all know a black snake is like a garter on steer-oids.

When the doctor was asked how many blacksnake patients he sees a year, he simply face-palmed.
