"The Gator ate her"

I was just telling a group of co-workers over lunch yesterday that crimes or some disasters seem to follow trends………I said that there haven’t been any children kidnapped lately, not like last year……….I felt like so many kids were being grabbed from either right outside their house or inside their own house! You practically heard about one a month that summer.

We certainly haven’t had a good serial killer in a long time. That was also popular some years back.

Well one thing I have noticed……climbing the popularity ladder….the summer before last remember all the people getting attacked by sharks? It was almost daily. Well, now it seems to be alligators. I don’t know what is up with the gators but they are out for blood.

How about the poor stiff hired by the golf course to retrieve balls from a pond?
He got bit too this month might have lost a limb.

The worst story is the one below, about the girl that went missing while jogging near a canal….note to self (do not run, walk, bike or even drive near any water in Florida)

Luckily one woman fought back! She’s not taking any poop from a bullying gator.

Scientist will say, "sharks don't like the taste of humans, it is usually a case of mistaken identity. They don't attack unless provoked" Same is true for gators I guess.........Gators seem to be big prehistoric troublemakers.
