This is going to sound like an innuendo, but it isn't. When a nursing center patient in Titusville, Florida, woke up and went to the bathroom, he found a live snake in his underwear, WFTV reports.
"I was like, a snake? A real snake," said Titusville Rehab and Nursing Center nursing assistant Veronica Mitchner. "And I wanted to see the snake and when I seen the snake in a cup, I was like, 'Dang, that's a real snake.'"
Perhaps even weirder is that supervisors reportedly discouraged the nurses from reporting what happened out of concern for getting the Health Department involved, but they didn't abide by that request.

Never fear, the patient wasn't bitten by the snake. Actually, he said he wanted to keep it as a pet. Oh, Florida.
