Perhaps the most stereotypically Australian news item ever
by Ben Reilly Mon Mar 10, 2014 9:30 pm
A QUEENSLAND man has reacted to a deadly snake bite in the most Australian way — by grabbing a cold beer from the fridge.
Rod Sommerville, 54, thought he was going to “cark it” last month when he was nipped on the finger by an eastern brown snake while moving pot plants around his backyard.
The Yeppoon man smacked the backyard dweller on the head with a shovel and called for an ambulance.
Then he grabbed a XXXX Gold from the fridge and sat down, because “if you panic if you make it worse”, the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin reports.

what else are you going to do?
he is right, panic wont help may as well relax with a beer till the ambulance get there.
the particularly unlucky gentleman Also has a allergic reaction to the the Anti-venom
which is a double crappy day

I don't see that it's that outlandish a response in the circumstances... But Bee would probably be able to give a better-informed perspective on this topic.

Come to think of it, that would be a fairly stereotypical day in the life of a West Texan too ::D::
