Alligators Bathing In The Sun


Blog Posted:8/26/2013 1:52:00 PM

Dear Soupers:

We know that alligators are perhaps attracted to meat and can be scared away by  heavy sounds for example those from a fishing boat. What would you do if an alligator attacks you in water?

My first thought is unworthy of publication. That might be the best I can do!

I liked Ruben's first response......that part about crying !!! LOL !! I've stumbled upon rattle snakes in my back yard.....but never alligators. I'll stick to snakes and lizards, if I have to !

Haven't got a clue, Christine, but the eye poking thing sounds pretty right to me! ;) Or....hope I'm around when he gets hungry, cuz honey, he'll go for a meal that will last him a bit! ;) Chris covered it all, me thinks! Oh yea....PRAY like you've never prayed before. No atheists in a foxhole...guess no atheists with a limb in a croc's mouth pretty much equates. Ok...that was my jab at humor. I know..I suck. Better stick to writing sappy mush! Hugs!
