Inebriated
What misfortune has beset you whilst under the influence of alcohol? Whilst walking back from the pub with a few mates, we had to cross this bridge across a drain

Although it's been tidied up recently, the embankment is usually overgrown with nettles. So we're stumbling along and there's a scream, a lot of groaning and a liberal amount of F-Words. One of our group inadvertantly walked the wrong side of the bridge and fell down the embankment through a huge patch of nettles.

We lean over the edge and watch him has he struggles to his feet and then has to scramble back through the nettles to the road again.
He has been stung everywhere exposed, and I imagine a lot of places that wasn't either. "Look at my arms!" he cries showing off the dozens of small white welts. That's when we noticed two puncture marks. There must have been a snake of sorts in that undergrowth, probably a grass snake, a grass snake that was a bit annoyed at having some pissed up bloke come crashing through it's spot.
