A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator1 shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors2 were asking.
 
After becoming very frustrated3 with the "no haggle4" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"
 
The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!"
 
Determined5, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching6 herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing7 waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her.
 
She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement8.
 
Just then the blonde flips9 the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Dang it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
