Man Offers Live Alligator For 12-Pack Of Beer
CBS Miami ^ | 12-17-13 | unattributed

Posted on 12/18/2013 12:58:42 PM PST by smokingfrog

It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but a guy walked into a Miami-area convenience store with quite a surprise in the box.

A clerk at the Santa Ana Market in Allapattah was approached by customer Fernando Caignet Aguilera, 64, to buy some beer recently.

“I just picked it up here,” Aguilera said of the alligator. “I seen it here in the grass and I tied it up.”

When the subject of payment was brought up, the customer offered up a live alligator.

“I went into the store to try to exchange it for a beer,” Aguilera told CBS4′s Marybel Rodriguez.

Aguilera continued, “In my mind, I was trying to get some beer because I didn’t have no money. So I said, let me try the alligator.”

Yes, a live alligator in a cardboard box.

I’d tell him “No problem. Bring Elvis back when he’s full grown. Leave Tubbs out of this. He’s not gonna be keen on me eating the gator, making wallets and boots out of him”.

Yeah, Chimps are way outside the pet envelope for me, along with anything else that might kill or eat me. I’d be happy with a nice, lazy dog.

A man walks into a bar with an aligator and a baseball bat. He sets tha aligator on a table and ....

I’ve never heard the newspaper version. But I bet there is a gay guy in the story.

Sounds like a fair trade to me.

How big was the gator and what brand of beer? lol

Alligators probably aren't worth so much in Miami.
Now take him up to New York and you might have yourself a commodity.
