So this idiot thinks this is fun. No matter how much you preach "Don't feed the gators", some folks are just begging for trouble.

He is not just putting himself in jeopardy, others too! I hope this is not in your immediate neighborhood.

Not my neighbor, thank goodness. My neighbors only feed the raccoons which is equally stupid and against the law, but they think the coons are so "cute".

I don't think the word idiot really does his stupidity justice.

The unfortunate thing is he won't be the one who ends up getting attacked because the gator now associates people with food.

Anyone who has seen how fast a gator can move on land wouldn't have the nerve to get this close.

I've seen them do a 180 in less than two seconds when going for food.

So if there is no other food and you happen to walk up on your friendly little pet in the dark, well...............

Hi Swampy,
I don't know how true this is but, I've be told that a gator can out run a dog in the first 30 feet or so.

Who knows? maybe he is no longer with us (the guy I mean)

I can quite understand why Swampy didn't want to post the next image in the sequence, but I think it should serve as a lesson to all.

LOL, Ro! Great manipulation!

The man has to be missing more than just a few brain cells.

I assume you guys read about the folks that kept feeding a gator on a Florida golf course then one day some (other) idiot hit his ball in the water and he leaned over to reach for it and GATOR GOT HIM!. His golfing companions beat off the gator, but the guy had Hundreds of stitches.

The golf course grounds crews down here are notorious for chumming the gators with marshmellows.

I run a local charitable golf tournament for our Seminole Club (as in Florida State Seminoles). I have a local rule printed in the rules sheet that reads...

ALLIGATORS: Florida State fans may take as much stance and swing relief as they want. University of Florida fans get no relief. Bulldog, Tennessee and Hurricane fans may ask Florida fans to retrieve their ball.

When I viewed Swampy's image, it reminded me of the T Paul Challenge to create Demotivators.

This image seemed to be perfect for an Einstein quote. I couldn't resist.
