I love my dog, but I don't know if I would jump on a gator to save him. Mr. Gustafson must clank when he walks 'cause his are made of steel.

Gators should be hunted mercilessly.

They’re good for only three thing.

Shoes, belts, and luggage.

Most dogs, even 13 pound dogs, would leap after a gator if it had their master.

Its an understandable move for the master to reciprocate such devotion.

Actually, they are not bad eating either. I tried it once in a Brazilian restaurant that had all types of meat.

I trim my tree with a chain saw.
Chain saws work really well when fighting gators.

This happens all the time at the Villages. You are told to keep an eye on your pet and don’t have a pet that runs free like a cat because there is a good chance they will get eaten.

It’s a fact I love reptiles but gators and crocs?

You’re right on.

[I hear they’re good eatin’, too]

The odds are extremely high that my death will involve saving an animal.

I’m kinda stupid that way.
