I went to a Baptist Bible college in the 1990s. They were cessationists. There was a freshman one year from West Virginia. One day in chapel, this guest preacher made a joke about West Virginia, talking about Mark 16 and how no one handled snakes anymore "except maybe some people in West Virginia." This student was very upset and spoke the preacher afterwords. "WE DON'T HANDLE SNAKES!!" A good friend of mine, who was also a prankster, prank called this student a few days later and asked him over and over in an Appalachian accent "Ya got any snakes? Ya got any snakes?" Oh no, I laughed so hard. I probably shouldn't have, and it probably wasn't good Christian behavior. But I never forgot that.
