I was mowing one of my customers lawns and it was getting late. Anyhow I have about 1/3 of the back left to do so I have the mower running wide open to avoid being out there after dark. Well one part of the lawn has a small tree that I go around and bring the deck up to. One of the spots I saw a snake. No big deal hes on the ground, i'm on a mower, they still give me the willies tho.
I keep on mowing, Mr Snake goes his way, I go the other. About 30 feet from the tree I feel something on my shoulder. Remember now its getting dark!!, I turn my head to look and I will be damned if its not the snakes brother. I almost crash my new ZTR into the fence getting off of it and swinging my arms like a idiot, well I get the "snake" off of me but I keep running. I stop about 50 feet from where the " snake" flew off. I keep looking at it, but its not moving, I throw a small rock, and it does not move, I get closer, nothing. So I find a long twig near me, walk closer and poke at it,, folks, its a DAMN STICK!!!!!
The home owner is on the back patio laughing her ass off at me, I feel like a total idiot, I just smile and asked if she enjoyed the show, hop back on my mower and finish the job.

I would have tore somethin' UP...probably would have jumped off the mower and run over myself with it or somethin'
