"Are You Sure It's Not An Iguana Maam?"

I figured my page needed some humor again. So here it is that sweet Maybel (I havn't a clue what her real name is, so I'm going to call her Maybel since it's my blog and I can do that) Anyways, getting back to my story. Maybel and Ethel are upstairs in their lovely 2 story house located in the sunny southern Florida when they hear something coming from downstairs. She think "Is is a cat burgular..?" or perhaps it's their precious cat playing in the kitchen? Nope, dear sweet Maybel decides it's too loud to be her friendly feline, so she tiptoes downstairs to see what all the ruckess is. And that's when she spots it! Right smack dab in the middle of her kitchen is a flippin' Alligator! And I don't mean a tiny foot long gator either folks, we're talking a hormonal raging female alligator measuring in at almost 9 feet...just chillin' in her kitchen like it's an everyday occurence or something. I'm gonna be honest, I'm pretty sure if I walked out and saw that I would probably just piddle right there on the floor right after I screamed like a little girl for a solid 2 minutes easily. So, she does what any normal rational person would do living in South Florida does in time of crisis, she picks up her phone and dials 9-1-1. She tells the operator what little reptile she's found looking for a handout in her pantry. My favorite part of the whole news clip is what the operator says.."Are you sure it's not an iguana maam?" I love it. What person who has lived in Florida for even a milisecond doesn't recognize an alligator ?? I mean really. Dude, if she's calling you telling you that she's got an alligator in her kitchen, it's pretty safe to assume that she probably can verify that it is infact the correct identification! I love silly articles like this. They help to clear my head. Watch the video below for a chuckle, the conversation between the 9-1-1 operator and Maybel is brief, but most definately humorous.

Love your Life (and be glad you don't have gators takin' up residency in your casa!)
