Snake discovered in Dublin’s Guinness Brewery container shipped from Texas

Let's send a couple more snakes over to Ireland, they make a great pair of boots !!

Oh, no! Does this mean there are now snakes in Ireland?

I would have thought D i c k Ch e n # y would be a better name for that snake; they are two of a kind.

Was the keg empty because it drank (slugged!) the contents? If so, was he not inebriated? Is this the return of one of the Druidic snakes St Patrick unlawfully exiled 1,500 yrs ago. And should the snake not have been taken to immigration for being an illegal alien? And does this mean that the intoxication industry which brews the devil's buttermilk is now importing it from Texas? I've heard of a worm in your standard shot of Mexican tequila, but never a corn snake in a pint of the black stuff? Still, should improve the taste I'd imagine? Reptilian droppings notwithstanding.

Tod, St James's gate is actually just a gate. its the Guinness Brewery.

An Irish Snake...WOW!!!!! how lucky can he get....

Diageo should be commended for their wonderful cash back (rebate) programs.

Hey guys, sorry about that snake, but you folk in Ireland are a bit wetter than we are, and in some counties we are even called DRY counties...'course you can get yore booze over the state line in New Mexico sometimes. I'm from Bush's hometown of Midland, Texas, and we are really draught struck at this time. We thought about your hospitality in that this is where we got our Texas hospitality from our Irish imigrants. You know Mexico had a problem with Texas in the old days...they did not have enough Mexicans, so they imported a whole passel of Irish Catholics to people up the province. I hope you are not offended at our solution to your snake problem there.

First: JAYUS! Second: How thoughtful -- a green snake.

Should think an Irish writer would know it's St. James's Gate.

St.Pat is spinning in his grave!

It might be an example of Texas humor, as well. You know, reintroducing snakes into Ireland, and all that. From what I understand, however, Ireland now has more than enough snakes of the human variety, rather than of the reptile variety. As Hamlet says to his old friend, "The Fault, Horatio, is not in the stars, but in ourselves."

A shipment from Texas? The Guinness staff should be grateful for the snake! It probably ate the huge flying cockroaches that hide out in shipping containers from Texas (ugh!).

Where is St. Patrick when we need him?
