During the second world war my grandad was stationed in the jungles of the far east and one day they were to be sent out on patrol into the deep jungle for a day . The sergeant major gets all the unit together and issues them a warning .
" right lads your going into the jungle and in there is the deadliest snake known to man , it's called the oomibagoomi snake but don't worry it's quite easy to render it perfectly harmless . It's very distinctive it's a two colour striped snake and if you see one just grab it by the tail and with alternative hands go ...orange , black , orange ,, black ,orange , black , orange , black until you get to the head then with both hands twist one way then the other and that will kill the snake "
So off they go into the jungle and upon returning my grandads face is ripped to shreds he looks a right mess and the sergeant looks at him and says what happened to you
" well sergeant I was going through the jungle when sticking out the bush was the oomibagoomi snake so following your advice I grabbed it quickly with both hands ....orange , black , orange , black , orange , black and then sir I came face to face with the biggest tigers arse I've ever seen "
