Jogger Gets a Shock:

A jogger got the shock of his life when he was jogging around a city park on Sunday. As I was passing under a
large tree, I felt something drop on me, he recalled.
At first, I thought it was a branch, but then I realized it was a snake! I couldnt believe it!
Then the guy running ahead of me turned around and saw it slide off. The snake wasnt particularly big, but it
gave me quite a shock all the same. A snake expert said the snake was probably a python, which is non
