Alligator Shoes 

A blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted to take
home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way but was very
reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking for the
highly prized shoes. 

After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices"
attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Well then,
maybe I'll just go out and catch my own  alligator, so I can get a pair of
shoes at a decent price!" 

The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, y'all
just go and give it a try, why don'cha!" 


The blonde turned on her heel and headed out toward the swamps, determined
to catch herself an alligator. 

Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to the
side of the levee where he spots that same young woman standing waist deep
in  the murky bayou water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he spots a huge
9-foot 'gator swimming rapidly toward her. 

With lightning speed, she takes aim, kills the creature and, with a great
deal of effort, hauls it onto the slimy swamp bank. Lying nearby were
several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper stands on the bank and
watches this scenario in amazed silence. 

Just then, the blonde struggles and flips the 'gator on its back. Then,
rolling her eyes heavenward and screaming in great frustration, she shouts
out, "Damn, this one is barefoot, too!"
