This happened a good long time ago - but stopped by a cop who thought he had a live one because there was a beer cooler in the back of the Chevy station wagon I was driving at the time. He opened the rear hatch - it was late at night, you understand - shined his light into the cooler, dug his hand into the ice, and came up with...
...the body of a 5-foot Diamondback rattler that I'd killed on the road a bit earlier. I'd removed the head, naturally. He was less than thrilled.
