Alligator Shoes ~
A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. 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 was driving home, when he spotted the
young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then,
he saw a huge 9-foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She took aim,
killed the creature, and with a great deal of effort hauled it on to the
swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The
shopkeeper watched in amazement. Just then the blonde flipped the
alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Darn it, this one
isn't wearing any shoes either!"
hope you liked it
