911 caller: 'There's an alligator in my kitchen!'

Some people get upset about a cockroach in the kitchen. We have a little more to worry about.

911 operator wanted to make sure it wasn't an iguana. It was an 8-foot alligator.

Big deal. I've got a wocket in my pocket.

 

...looks like the backstroke.

 

Big deal. Letterman had a grizzly bear in his cabin drinking his whiskey

 

I asked on another thread -- one that was, ahem, started later on another board -- if it's still illegal to hunt gators, whether the authorities would make an exception if you had one mosey into your kitchen.

Plus, the Marx Brothers would have a field day with this ... Is that an alligator in your kitchen, or are you just glad to see me?

 

It's legal to hunt them in season. They seem to take exception if one moseys into your kitchen.

My aunt had one show up in her yard one day, in a very concreted townhouse subdivision. Scaly bastard kept her unable to leave her house until animal control showed up.

 

How did it get inside the house? Did she leave a door open?

 

<blockquote>Sixty-nine-year-old Sandra Frosti says the alligator must have pushed through the screen door on the back porch and then walked through an open sliding glass door at her home in Oldsmar, just north of Tampa.

The alligator apparently then strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.</blockquote>

Oh, well, sure. You click the second link and you get that info.

[/Sorry]

 

Damn good thing she didn't have any pets or small children in the house.

 

Gators eating small pets=semi-regular occurrence.

 

I couldn't imagine finding that in my kitchen. Although, it seemed pretty at the start of the clip. Once the dude waves the towel, not so much.
