What a lucky guy.

An Indianapolis man was able to do two of the world’s most boring activities — watching grass grow and paint dry — at the same time.

Timothy Birdwell keeps his lawn green — by painting it.

Birdwell, who works for a paint company, says the product he used is specially designed for grass and lasts two to three months.

He finally used a skill he was taught 70 years ago.

Lester Slate, of Exeter, Maine, was trained to parachute as a Navy pilot in World War II, but never had to jump.

Slate said he enjoyed it so much, he plans to jump again, on his 95th and 100th birthdays.

A snake in the gas gave some early New Jersey commuters a bit of a scare.

The 5-foot-long reptile was spotted at an Elmwood Park gas station lounging next to a pump.

As word spread, it became something of a tourist attraction.

“By the time they caught the snake, there were about 12 people watching,” said station manager Rene Esseya. “It was a lot more people than we usually see in the morning.”

The snake turned out to be harmless, said town official Scott Karcz, adding: “It’s just a big snake that lives in Bergen County.”

Speaking of snakes . . .

A 28-year-old woman in Switzerland found a 2-foot-long snake in her bathroom.

“It was a good thing I was in the bathroom already,” said Anika Bauer, explaining:

“When I saw the snake, I almost peed myself.”
