So you walk around the corner of your Village Home or the Golf Course and there you are face to face with Mr. or Mrs. Gator!

I would think turn and run like H-- the other way or does that make a Gator wanna play go fetch the white meat?

And the answer is?

alligators do exhibit a natural fear of humans so backing away slowly should do it, their jaws can exert 300 psi however....

In other words, back away slowly and say "See you later, Alligator."

From what I understand, if you ever come in contact with an alligator, and he decides to chase you to get a little snack, you are supposed to run in a zig-zag pattern to get away. Alligators can't make those sharp turns and change directions and generally will run in a straight line.

Remember Gracie no P in Lake Sumpter. Ruth said she's with you!

What was the movie, Romancing the Stone? How bout them snapers!

OMG Herv! You realize you just p'd in Lake Sumter? Oh the humanity!!!

I just saw on the nature channel that gators are opportunistic eaters. They will eat anything, like small rodents, dogs, cats, slow inattentive birds, amphibians like frogs---FROGS!!!.

OMG

Now, if had been alligator shoes and an alligator hat, I'd have to say he's a real go-getter and

... oh, you know the rest.

p.s., I'm hoping he didn't have a blue dress on.

Frogs are the Appetiser, Dogs are a Scoobie Snack!

I got this down. When faced with a close Gator Stare Down.


1: Stand there and wet myself

2: Serpentine

3: Run Zig Zag!

4: Move 90 Degrees Fast

5: It is not a John Deere Gator, you cannot drive it

6: Do not try to deal with the Gator. It will cost you a Arm and Leg

I've tallied the votes.

Three votes for backing away slowly.
Three votes for running away "zig zag".
One vote for pee, a really bad solution!

So ... you can either back away slowly and if he starts chasing you, run like hell in a zig zag pattern.

Or you can carry a stuffed toy bear everywhere. If chased, throw the bear to the gator. That will buy you time to zig zag home and breathlessly log onto to TOTV to tell us your story.
