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, 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 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. Laying 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, "Damn it, this one
isn't wearing any shoes either!"
