Sometimes you eat the alligator, and sometimes the alligator eats you....you toesies.

"I'm a little upset because the gator is probably going to be euthanized," Lisa Posten said. "People that live in Florida, they know not to go in these waters, this is where these gators live."

Well, that's great, Lisa. Did you know that bears and Florida panthers live on the land? So you should know better than to go on the land too.

“I’m a little upset because the gator is probably going to be euthanized,” Lisa Posten said. “People that live in Florida, they know not to go in these waters, this is where these gators live.”

Upset over a reptile, but not upset that the guy lost his toes? People are messed up.

Port Charlotte is in BIG trouble now...their signs didn't say a thing about bathing!

How exactly was the gator nibbling on toes? Was he just having a small appetizer before the main course? I'm no gator expert, but they don't seem exactly equipped to nibble on little noshes.

and groin

Sounds to me like it may have gotten more than just his toes.

We met people in the Florida state parks who were living on SS. Almost homeless. One couple had an old pop up and an even older PU. You can stay pretty cheap but only fot two weeks so the left for a day or two and then came back. Interesting people/ lifestyle.

Tip your waitress!

I guess a tow truck won’t help.

All fresh water is to be off-limits to swimming in Florida. A lake that has no gators one day, can be infested the next day, as they migrate.
An interesting note... George washington noted personally sighting an alligator in southern Virginia. That was before Global Cooling, er, Global Warming, er, Climate Change........

Euthanized? There were tears in the cops’ eyes when they had to put one down at the Mikosukee casino on Tamiami Trail (west of Miami) some years ago. A thief robbed casino patrons at gunpoint, and, when pursued, jumped into a nearby lake, only to be killed by its resident ‘gator.

The cops were saying “Kill him? That ‘gator should be given a medal.”

Gator just wanted a little ‘toe jam’

It’s a pork thing.

Poor gator is probably going to die of food poisoning anyway.

[Parley Baer]

The gators nickname is Dick Morris.

Imán is Spanish for magnet, who’s pull this gator couldn’t resist.

Poor stupid man.

[EinNYC]

This story lacks one detail that other websites' versions contained: the gator relieved the homeless guy of one of his testicles, too. Hence the mention of "groin injury".

That'll leave a mark!

[Daffynition]

The poor guy was just trying to take a bath and get himself cleaned up.

Must have been the attraction to his soap-on-a-rope.

Thank you for another FR tale of Florida. I’m just waiting for a few more, so I can write an Elmore Leonard/Carl Hiaasen-style book.
