SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!

Thay That Again, You Thwollen Thongue Thevil -- A jury in Tavares, Florida, convicted Leal Fleming, 45, of drunk driving in November, despite his insistence that the reason he slurred his words to a police officer, and couldn't breathe into a breathalyzer, was that he had just been bitten on the tongue by a rat snake and was on his way to a hospital to get treatment for the swelling. Said Fleming after the trial, "After the verdict came in, I had some second thoughts (about not taking an offered plea bargain), but I still think there was a point to our defense."


Alibi by MMario

Far less sharp than woman's tongue, is claimed the Serpent'th tooth;
More deadly though the latter ith, I tell you Thir, in thooth,
And that is why, good offither, my tongue is thwiftly thwelling;
No alcohol at all ith within my body dwelling!

I know, good Thir, my body thways, my driving ith erratic;
But not from drinth or drugth, no Thir! But that which makth a rat thick.
For I've been bit upon my tongue by fork-ed tongued dithaster
Which ith why my thpeed wath high, I with it had been fathter!

I cannot in your inthrument, exhale for any tetht.
Indeed, it ith all I can do, to take another breath!
I cannot walk a line thath thtraight, make fingerth touch my noth
May I thuggetht you thtep back, Thir, before my thtomach goth

And when I thtand before the judge, to thith I tholemn thwear
I'll never kith another thnake, no matter what the dare!
Forgive me Thir, I mutht be thick, the poithen growth more fathter
And if I were not three fourthth dead, I wouldn't take thith crap thir!
