Gators On The Beach
While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft. Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted:
- Are there any gators around here?!
- Naw, they ain't been around for years! - the man hollered back.
Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he asked the guy:
- How'd you get rid of the gators?
- We didn't do nothin' - the beachcomber said.
- The sharks got 'em.
