Whoops

  • Officers in Independence, a Kansas City suburb, responded to a call on a Saturday evening about a large alligator lurking on the embankment of a pond, police spokesman Tom Gentry said Thursday.

    An officer called a state conservation agent, who advised him to shoot the alligator because there was little that conservation officials could do at that time, Gentry said.

    As instructed an officer shot the alligator, not once but twice, but both times the bullets bounced off -- because the alligator was made of cement.
So where did the ricochets end up?

While we're all smiling, here's another one:

Bank of America Gets Pad Locked After Homeowner Forecloses On It

Collier County, Florida -- Have you heard the one about a homeowner foreclosing on a bank?

Well, it has happened in Florida and involves a North Carolina based bank.

Instead of Bank of America foreclosing on some Florida homeowner, the homeowners had sheriff's deputies foreclose on the bank.

Well, bless their hearts. They've probably never seen an alligator in Kansas, maybe. 'Does that look like an alligator to you?' 'Yep, that looks like an alligator.'

There is only one quarter size spot right behind the head that will kill an alligator,anywhere else will do nothing.
If you shoot in the skull it would only shatter and most likely YOU might get hit from the shrapnel!

Nothing beats that Cougar that was roaming the streets a few years back.

And no, I'm not talking about that 50 year old lady that prowls River North trying to pick up guys half her age.

Did they ever figure out how it got here? The four legged Cougar that is, not its two legged counterpart.

Better safe then sorry, I've seen Gators stay still for hours at the zoo.

The Florida Gators stood pretty still this season also.

It was actually tracked to South Dakota by its DNA (seriously) and had been tracked through MN and Wisc by DNA analysis of its scat.

Before and after it was rightly destroyed by CPD, There were numerous reports of the big cat up by the Skokie Lagoons and reports of it along the Edens that were not taken seriously.

Read anything other than the mainstream stuff and you'll find sightings of other cougars, coyotes and wolves. Yep, wolves. Wanna take your snubbie w/you on the old jogging trail? Won't kill it, but it might give you a chance.
