A young blonde woman was driving through the Florida Everglades while

>
> The blonde headed off to the swamp, determined to catch an alligator.

> Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he spots the same
> young woman standing waist deep in the murky water, shotgun in hand.
>
> As he brings his car to a stop, he sees a huge 9-foot gator swimming
> rapidly toward her. With lightning reflexes, the blonde takes aim,
> shoots the creature and hauls it up onto the slippery bank.
>
> Nearby were 7 more dead gators, all lying belly up.
>
> The shopkeeper stood on the bank, watching in silent amazement.
>
> The blonde struggles mightily and manages to flip the gator onto its
> back.
>
> Rolling her eyes heavenward, she screams in frustration
>
> "CRAP! THIS ONE'S BAREFOOT, TOO"!
