The Texas Rattlesnake revealed a story when he was in the woods and he had to battle a colony of fire ants, and it was quite the war between him and the tiny creatures.

“There I was cooking chicken, salmon, enjoying myself out there. I’m just minding my own business, ain’t bothering nobody, everything is good in my world… I got my tennis shoes and my socks on and I think ‘man, my feet are kind of itching that ain’t really like an itch’. They’re kind of really starting to hurt and I kind of run one ankle against my foot and I did the other one. I look down, I’m standing right in the middle of a big a** pile of fire ants and they are f*cking whooping my a**.”

Stone Cold Steve Austin laid down the perfect plan for revenge

Now, The Texas Rattlesnake couldn’t just accept defeat. He removed his shoes and socks and proceeded to execute a plan that helped him overpower the fire ants.

“I took a small piece of chicken, laid it on the ground. They came swarming. As soon as a bunch of them got on it, I put that damn piece of chicken in a ziploc bag… I would reach into the ziplock bag with my thumb and my pointing finger. Pull out one ant at a time. I would sit their little sorry a** on the camper floor. And, thump their a** right out of the f*cking trailer.”
