Our society, ladies and gentlemen.
Don’t take a selfie with a cobra because it will bite you and kill you — and that’s what one man learned. And don’t kiss a rattlesnake because it will obviously bite you. And that’s what one Florida man learned.
Ron Reinold was sent to the hospital in critical condition and was in a coma after he, for some damn reason, decided to kiss a rattlesnake. It all kicked off when Charles Goff caught a rattlesnake on his property. And that’s when Reinold, who is his neighbor, and another person got into the trap without his permission and began playing with the snake.

“Ron was just acting silly, you know?’ Goff told ActionNewsJax. “I guess he said he could kiss the devil and get away with it, but evidently he didn’t. The other boy came running over here in a panic and wanted me to go over and I just said call 911.”
Goff seems kind of irritated, but hey, I would be as well if an idiot screwed himself over after deciding to kiss a deadly reptile.
Reinold was flown to UF Health in Jacksonville in critical condition, but according to his family he is now doing much better and is expected to survive even though he is hooked up to a feeing tube. Damn.
Here’s the lesson: don’t kiss an animal that can kill you. Just kiss baby goats.
