7 years ago I went to Florida with my wife and her family. We went to a place called "Gatorland" or something like that.

Anyways, at the end of the gator show you could get your picture taken sitting on an alligator (a small one, with its mouth taped). I got in line, and quickly realized this was only for children, but the gator people didn't seem to care.

Well, this was kind of embarrassing for me as I was waiting there and seeing little 5 year old kids sit on the alligator to get their pictures taken, and I was contemplating how I was going to get my picture taken without crushing the thing.

My turn arrives, the alligator takes one look at me, and obviously thinks to him/herself "eff this" and runs away. Gator lady yells at me "GRAB IT!"

I grabbed its tail and drug it towards me like a seasoned baby alligator hunter, and got my photo op.
Where did you get that overnight bag?

When I was a kid the bee hive that lived in our "big" red barn got too big or something.  So they made a new queen and split.  I wonder how they decide who goes and who stays.  Anyway, the new hive was down on it's luck or just plain stupid.  They gathered on a tree branch in one huge ball with the new queen in the center of it.  The ball-o-bees was about the size of a bowling ball.  Dad called our priest (who was also a bee keeper) and he came over in his regular black shirt and pants with just a hood and smoker thing for protection.  He cut the branch off and put it in a wooden box.  Then transported it back to his bee farm and gave us 5 quart jars of honey for them.   :lick:

I bet he just climbed down.  small bears are good climbers.  big bears are poor climbers.

I was outside on my back patio when I looked at the yard and saw two rabbits about 10 feet apart staring at each other.  One started charging the other one and at the last second the one being charged jumped over it.  Naturally, there was another staring contest for about 20 seconds then the same thing repeated.  This occurred probably 5-6 more times with the charging rabbit having no success (I mean seriously, it jumps every time.. just jump right before you get there and knock this bitch out).  Then on the last charge the jumping rabbit kicked the other rabbit going underneath it in it's dumb head knocking it out and the alpha rabbit took off.
