“They were stopped, and waiting for a few, including a Mother and her calves to cross the road right in front of them, when an idiot tourist family in a minivan behind them.....
......opened the van and sent their CHILDREN outside, to POSE with “cute baby buffalos”.”
I can top that story. Had a friend who worked at Kennedy Space Center. One day while going in the gate he saw a family taking photos at the KSC sign at the entrance. An alligator, sleeping, was sunning itself in front of the sign.
Mamma goes up to the gator and plops her three-year-old som on the gator’s back, so daddy can get a cute picture of the boy, riding an alligator in front of the KSC sign.
The gator is startled by this, so startled it takes off into the swamps near the sign, leaving junior on the ground in front of the sign. (Of course junior, falling on his little pumpkin head in his toss off the gator, sets up a howl like a Civil Defense siren.)
Then mamma and pops pick up junior, walk over to the gate guard, and *complain* to him about the alligator’s rude behavior. They are too busy reaming the guy out to listen to him explain how lucky they were that the alligator chose to take off rather than gobble down junior as a gator goodie.
Darwin Award candidates. Bet they were Democrats.
Too late. They already procreated. :-)
And, BTW, you win. What IDIOT puts their kid on top of an alligator? I mean, short of Steve Irwin, who was short a few brain cells, anyway.
