A 77-year-old woman was woken up in the middle of the night by what she thought was an intruder - but instead found an 11ft alligator in her kitchen.

Mary Wischhusen heard a large crash at her home in Clearwater, Florida, at around 3.30am.

"I had this beautiful face staring at me as though he belonged there," she told Spectrum News.

"[He was] just laying there. It's like he made it all the way through the kitchen and he thought he was so smart."

She said she went back to her bedroom to call the police and played games on her computer to calm herself down while she waited for help to arrive.

"I was hyperventilating a little," she said.

Wow. Did she leave a door open? Does she still have all her pets?

During the apprehension, the alligator knocked over several bottles of wine.

Nothing worse than a drunk alligator...

“”The alligator will be taken to a private location locally to rest and recover from what the trapper described as a traumatic experience for the gator.”

Poor thing.

Geez, the gator was probably just on its way home from a club, and stopped in to get an early breakfast. Can't do anything nowadays without it being on the 6 o'clock news...

;o)

Knocked over several bottles of wine, or knocked down several bottles of wine?

I woke up one morning and went into the bathroom. When I turned on the light, there was a huge black spider in the middle of the white tile floor........

To make sure that never happened again, I put black carpeting on the floor. I figured if there were ever another big spider in there at least I wouldn't see it......

ROFL!!! Prozac, zoloft, wellbutrin, ambien, xanax, some old MAOs, a tricyclic, klonopin and an antipsychotic for 2 years should help him get past this!!

And therapy. With a therapist of the sex he chooses.

...”I had this beautiful face staring at me..”

This 77 year old woman needs action in a BAD WAY!!
