While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a 

1646860072   1646860073  

tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his 

fear of  alligators
 kept him clinging to the  

overturned
  craft.

  Spotting an old beachcomber standing on 

the shore, the tourist shouted, "are there any 

gators around here?!"

  "Naw," the man  hollered  back, "Ain't been 

any for years!"

  Feeling  safe,  the  tourist  started  swimming  

toward  the  shore.  About  halfway  there  he  asked  

the  guy,  "How'd  you  get  rid  of  the gators?"

  "We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. 

"The sharks got 'em."
