Alligator Shoes

A young blonde was driving through south Louisiana while on vacation. She wanted to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes, but found prices quoted by the local vendors way too expensive. After considerable haggling over the price in one particular shop, the shopkeeper's attitude really irked and frustrated the young blonde. She then declared, "Well then, maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator and get a pair of shoes for free!"

The shopkeeper daringly replied with a sly smile, "Well, why don't you go on and give it a try?"

The blonde whirled around, and stomped out of the store. And yes, believe it or not, she headed off to the swamp determined to catch an alligator.

Later that day, as the shopkeeper drove home, he spotted the same young blonde waist deep in the murky water of the bayou with a shotgun in her hand. As he brought his car to a stop, he saw a huge 9-foot 'gator swimming rapidly toward her. Before the shopkeeper could react or say anything, with lightning-speed reflexes, the blonde took aim, shot the creature, and hauled it up onto the slippery bank. To the shopkeeper's amazement, nearby were 7 more dead 'gators, all lying belly up.

The shopkeeper stood on the bank and watched in silent amazement. The blonde struggled mightily until she finally managed to flip the 'gator onto its back. After having done so, she rolled her eyes heavenward, and screamed in frustration, "Crap! This one's barefoot, too!"
