Alligator Shoes
A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Florida. She
wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way,
but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local
vendors were asking. After becoming very frustrated with the
“”no haggle”” attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde
shouted, “”Maybe I’ll just go out and catch my own alligator
so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!”” The
shopkeeper said, “”By all means, be my guest. Maybe you’ll
luck out and catch yourself a big one. Determined, the
blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching
herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is
driving home when he spots the young woman standing waist
deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a
huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes
aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls
it on to the swamp bank. Laying nearby were several more
of the dead creatures.
The shopkeeper watches in amazement. Just
then the blonde flips the alligator on it’s back, and
frustrated, shouts out, “”Darn it, this one isn’t wearing any
shoes either!
