Another day on the water in Florida.

I’d think you could catch something from gator spit.

But according to his shirt he’s not worried about catching.

“ While using this enormous reptile as a can opener may seem meme-worthy, Florida state law prohibits people from harassing and/or feeding these scaly predators.

Only the New York Post would imply it’s a harassment. This Florida man was using the reptile as a bottle opener.

"One wit labeled the “Jackass”-evoking stunt an example of why “women live longer than men.”

Sorry, Mr. Wit, but this manniest of all Florida Men is going to be able to spread his genes far and wide after that toxically masculine stunt. The women may live longer, but they all want to shag this guy.

Surely being the first to do this is worth whatever exotic illness the gator would transmit.

Where’s your sense of adventure?

gators eat a lot of rotting flesh since they can tear off big chunks once it’s decomposed a bit. They do eat fresh stuff, but it has to be small enough to ingest in one piece. Hate to think about what kind of bacteria is present in that mouth.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

Reminds me of that Hemingway novel: “A Farewell to Arms.”

[Sarcazmo]

Well, there is that. I bet he wishes he wore a different shirt.

Its the clean underwear parable, you never know when you’re going to go viral.

Beer kills all germs.

[nwrep]

No, his shirt says he’s gay.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Gag me! I didn’t even click to the article to see that photo.

Well, the boys will be after Mr. Macho.

[moovova]

Too bad the gator didn’t pop open an artery on the guy...chug a little A-negative.

[Ge0ffrey]

Someone call PETA ASAP!

[Samurai_Jack]

And That is why America is great!! lol

Sure, it’s cool to use a gator for a can opener, but don’t use a shark! https://nypost.com/2021/08/12/fisherman-chewed-out-for-using-live-shark-as-can-opener/

—”gators eat a lot of rotting flesh”

A very fine line between aged beef and rotting.

Mostly just advertising pushing the line.

I just encountered an old lady in Publix today with a t-shirt that said "I'm voting for the convicted felon".

Yes, I asked her if I could take a photo of her and yes, I sent it to all my "extremist" friends.

Same thing with Komodo dragons. The bite may not kill you but the bacteria from rotting flesh in their mouth will.

A twofer!...Florida Man + Alligator Ping!
