--- Alligator Shoes
A British man was on vacation in the swamps of Louisiana and wanted a pair of sturdy, genuine alligator shoes. He thought the local shops were asking too much though. Annoyed by one of the shopkeepers who refused to negotiate the price, the man shouted, "I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can have a pair of shoes at a reasonable cost!"
The shopkeeper said, "Go ahead. There were a couple of Texans in here this morning who said said the same thing. Maybe you'll see them"
The man headed into the swamp and came upon two men standing waist deep in the water. He thought, "Those must be the Texans the shopkeeper was talking about." He then saw a huge alligator swimming rapidly underwater toward them.
Just as the alligator was about to attack, one of the Texans grabbed its neck with both hands and strangled it to death with very little effort. The two Texans then dragged it on shore and flipped it on its back next to where about 10 other alligators were laying.
One of the Texans then shouted in frustration, "Damn, this one doesn't have any shoes either!"
