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!"
