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.
