Trouser Snake Kills Cambodian Man
Phnom Penh (dpa) - A Cambodian man who took off his trousers, tied the legs at the bottom and wrangled a 2-metre cobra into them died when it bit him through the fabric, local media reported Monday.
Khmer-language daily Koh Santepheap quoted police as saying Chab Kear, 36, saw the reptile swimming in a river just outside the capital last Thursday during a drinking session and captured it in the hopes of selling it later in the day.
He tied the animal inside his trousers and a scarf around his waist, but as he continued carousing the enraged snake managed to get its fangs free and bite Kear three times on the stomach.
The newspaper reported Kear's last words as being "don't worry - it's nothing a drink can't fix" before he succumbed to the cobra's venom.

"Trouser snake"? Sounds like a naughty word.
(Sorry for this unnecessary "joke".)

Who the hell would want to buy a cobra? It's not like you can take them for a bloody walk or cuddle them, is it?
Venom research programs pay for them, I suppose. But what a horrible way to go!
