File this under “Incredibly Bad Ideas.”
I’m watching a local news report about a 17 year old student
named Caleb who had his arm bitten off by an alligator earlier today. Caleb was swimming in a river that is known to
be populated by many gators. (I’ve been
told that virtually every lake, pond, and river in Florida contains gators. Frankly, I even double-check the bath tub
before I get in it.)
During the report, one of Caleb’s friends—a friend who was swimming
in the river with him at the time of the attack—stated that he planned to
continue swimming in the river. I’m not
kidding! Speaking about swimming in the
river, the friend said, with a wry grin, “Maybe not right away, but I’m sure I’ll
get back in the water here again.”
While Caleb’s friend was talking, several gators could be
seen in the background holding kitchen utensils while they smiled and nodded
their heads.
