-

Sss-erves him right! Victor Pratt, 48, tried to show off to pals at a birthday party by cooking a live rattlesnak­e over a grill.

But when he lost his grip on the snake’s neck, the reptile bit back — striking him in the face and chest.

A whiskey a day keeps the doctor away.

A 111-year-old English woman says the secret to living a long, healthy life is drinking one shot of whiskey every night.

“I like to enjoy myself,” she said. “I don’t sit and knit.”

A wasted man chowed down on a stranger’s bacon at a Florida restaurant, sparking a beef that led to his arrest.

The tasteless 28-year-old didn’t ask permission before helping himself to a woman’s plate at a Waffle House in Destin.

When she demanded he replace her food, he refused — so she called the cops. He was busted for disorderly intoxicati­on.

Two lanes were closed, snarling traffic for hours.

His fashion statement was dead wrong.

A creep broke into a funeral home in Leitchfiel­d, Ky., and snatched a dead man’s clothes, according to police.

The man was caught on camera peeling off his own threads before slipping on the dead man’s duds and making his escape.

He also swiped the man’s jewelry and the keys to the hearse. Natalie O’Neill, Wires
