The Aligator Hunter
Avon Lake, OH
An Avon Lake man nearly called the Crocodile Hunter July 17 when he looked on his Surrey Lane porch and saw a small alligator. Instead, he called police, who removed the animal _ which turned out to be made of rubber _ from the home.

The old rubber spider on a string gag grew old so they used a rubber alligator. The guys obviously an easy mark. As for the gag…I like it!

What a backup mess it could’ve caused should he have otherwise tried to flush it down the sewer. Thankfully he did call the police.

MHUL, You always correct yourself. I think it is cute, I do the same thing on IM’S, I don’t know why, I just can’t let a word that I have mis-spelled go UNFIXED either. You go girl!!! I just think it is cute!
BUT, if you REALLY meant (tink), you just go right on ahead kiddo. We are here to judge the (OTHER GUY), not each other. It’s your OWN business, unless Travis picks it up in a Police Blot, and then your ASSETS belong to US!!!
