But that doesn't mean they still don't see things that can make you scratch your head and say-what?

Case in point, Morganton (NC) Electric Services Department Workers got a bit of a shock last week when they went to disconnect power at a house.

According to a Facebook post, on the city's government page, when workers went a house scheduled demolition, they found two dead snakes locked inside the electrical box. How they got inside remains a mystery; however how they did is not, city officials report.

One snake slithered across two hot terminals and was electrocuted; the second snake was biting the first and received the jolt as well, the post states.

It took the work of capturing or killing the snakes, but they still had to disconnect the power!

Electric Services Director Brooks Kirby said his guys come across fried snakes every two or three years!
