I love my dog, but I don't know if I would jump on a gator to save him. Mr. Gustafson must clank when he walks 'cause his are made of steel.

Gators should be hunted mercilessly.

They’re good for only three thing.

Shoes, belts, and luggage.

Most dogs, even 13 pound dogs, would leap after a gator if it had their master.

Its an understandable move for the master to reciprocate such devotion.

I trim my tree with a chain saw.
Chain saws work really well when fighting gators.

This happens all the time at the Villages. You are told to keep an eye on your pet and don’t have a pet that runs free like a cat because there is a good chance they will get eaten.

The odds are extremely high that my death will involve saving an animal.

I’m kinda stupid that way.

He needs to carry a big stick and open that gator’s mouth wide.

I just yelled, 'you're not going to get her!' and just leaped on the gator…just like you do some silly belly flop in a pool," the Iowa native said. "The only difference was I landed on top of a gator."

Iowa native. That gator never had a chance.

It is important to remember that a Gator WILL NOT eat a Lawyer.

They risk certain death from toxemia.

I swear I don’t understand how anyone lives in some of these places; even in the US we have treacherous animals and regularly-scheduled natural disasters.

I consider myself to live in the best place physically there could be.
