TAIPEI — Who doesn’t at least occasionally glance into their toilet bowl with nervous concern that they might find a snake or other inappropriate creature lurking inside? One man in Taipei certainly wishes he’d taken a second look, because he has learned that the legendary toilet bowl snake is no legend.According to Reuters, an unidentified Taiwanese man got a love bite on his dick that he never expected when he decided to make a pit stop at his rural home.

“As soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt a knife-like pain and reacted instinctively by standing up,” China News reported. “When he looked down, he saw the big snake.”

While many a man has certainly joked about the big snake dangling between his legs, this 51-year-old Natou County man was not lying.

A director of the Puli Christian Hospital told the press that the man is under medical care for minor injuries and “As soon as he has passed the risk of infection, he can go.”

For those wondering, the director observed that the mouth of the black and yellow rat snake, “isn’t always clean.”

It is not uncommon for snakes to take refuge in rural homes in sub-tropical Asian nations. A local television newscast showed footage of the snake in question being carefully uncoiled and removed from the toilet in question.
