A rather strange guy walked into a shoe store wanting to buy some new alligator shoes. The clerk quoted a price of $250.00. The guy replied, “This is an outrage. There is no way I will pay that kind of money for a pair of shoes. I can shoot an alligator and get shoes for less than that.” The clerk answered, “Well, sir, I think you should do that.”
Later that day, the clerk was driving through the bayou and found the guy standing waist-deep in the swamp with a rifle pointed at a huge, mean-looking alligator swimming toward him. He shot it, then dragged it out of the water.
The clerk was surprised to see a good 20 dead alligators lying on their backs. The guy rolled the alligator over he had just shot and exclaimed, “DARN! That one isn’t wearing shoes either!”
