the blonde and the alligator

[bennettoid]

A young blonde was on vacation and driving through the Everglades. She
wanted to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but
she was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle prices" attitude of one
of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Well, then, maybe I'll just go out
and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes for free!"

The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile , "Little lady, just go and
give it a try!"

The blonde headed out toward the swamps, determined to catch an alligator.

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper was driving home, he pulled over to the
side of the levee where he spotted the same young woman standing waist deep
in the murky bayou water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he spotted a huge
9-foot alligator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning speed, she
took aim, killed the creature, and hauled it onto the slimy bank of the
swamp. Lying nearby were seven more of the dead creatures, all lying on
their backs. He stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement.

The blonde struggled and flipped the alligator onto its back.

Rolling her eyes heavenward and screaming in great frustration, she shouted
out, "Shoot - this one's barefoot, too!"
