Alligator in a Pillowcase

Sorry for such a late start to the posting today, but let’s get right into it:

I am oh so tempted to start this one discussing the urban legend of Alligators in the NYC sewer system, but that just seems like way to obvious of a choice.

We get this from 1010 Wins: A man taking an early morning stroll along the beach out in Babylon this past weekend came across a wriggling pillow case with this message printed on it: “Live Gator, Please find him a home.”

Fortunately this story does not turn into the blood bath it could have been if he opened the bag and gotten chomped. Instead, he called the SPCA who came and took the 30 inch alligator away. Seriously, who leaves an alligator tied in a pillow case on the beach and expects that some one will just come along thinking “Gee, I’ve always wanted an alligator, maybe I could give it a nice home.” Of course being NY, if the person who found the pillow case had not been an off duty police officer there is a good chance they probably would have taken it and given it a nice home.
