Slave and Master A slave is working out on the cotton plantation one hot day and the master approached him. ""Say, Toby, I'm gonna use the outhouse, so I expect to see at least another barrel filled with cotton befo' I get back,""the master said. ""Yessuh, massa,"" Toby replied. So the master went to the outhouse and as he sat down a copperhead come up and bite him in the butt. The master yelled like a banshee. The yell alarmed Toby, who ran to the outhouse to see the master writhing in pain with his behind in the air. ""Boy!!,""the master said. ""A copperhead just bit me right in the ass. Toby, you better run down to the doctor and ask him what to do about a snake bite."" ""Yessuh, massa,"" Toby replied. Toby made it to the doctor and knocked on the door. ""Toby, boy? What are you doing?"" the doctor said. ""My massa been bit by a copperhead! What do I got to do to keep him alive?"" Toby blurted. ""Ok Ok,"" the doctor said calmly. ""First, you have to clean the wound. Then, you have to suck the poison out. I don't have tools here, but you can do it with your lips. So clean the wound then, suck the poison out. OK?"" The doctor closed the door and Toby ran back to his master. ""Well Toby? What the doctor say?,"" the master said. With a smirk Toby answered, ""He said...you dead.""
