Up To His Arse In 'Gators!

When the skydiver leapt from his plane

     What he saw below to his great disdain

          Were 'gators flexing their jaws

               Expecting grub for their maws

                    To pursue this sport he must be insane

Yep, I agree. Only someone suffering from insanity would jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Congrats on your win Bob, and thanks again.

Robert, it isn't a queston of crocs or gators. I thought I was looking at sticks in the water and couldn't understand the danger. If i had been that guy, I'd have perished for certain.
