I think that I'll try shooting it in the eye first, but you've got to make do with the tools that are at hand in such a situation.
It's nice to know that watching TV occasionally has some benefits.

In this kind of fight, the loser has to provide lunch......I've tried Florida gator and Louisiana gator. I must confess that I was quite taken with the Louisiana gator, but it may have just been the sauce.

Poke halfway down. Works on both Clintons, but alas not on Gore or Kerry.

I wonder if the Discovery channel also show that the best way to defend yourself against someone breaking into your house is to shot them between the eyes.

I grew up in Central Florida in the 1950's and '60's. We used to swim in lakes with alligators 30 feet away from us. You would see their eyes and nose in the water. They never bothered us and we never had any fear of them. In those days there was an industry in alligator hides and the population stayed down. Gators normally are scavengers and eat dead fish and animals. If the meat isn't rotten enough they bury it in the mud or hide it in a nest until it cures. In the '70's, the human population grew and at the same time they declared gators endangered. Alligators began to multiple. Their sources of food got stretched and they began coming out of the lakes killing dogs and cats. Then they began attacking people.

Call me skeptical, but 16 yrs. old, and just before midnight on a saturday night and he's throwing rocks and sticks into a lake???
My take on the evening, is after he and a couple buddies were on the tail end of a case of Bud, they thought "Let's go f**k with that gator and throw some rocks at it..."

I always like people able to maintain presence of mind an emergency. Likewise, I have little regard for those unable to act instinctively in an emergency.
Hopefully, two years from now, this young man will be able to enter the military and serve under the command of a capable successor to our present Commander in Chief.
