GATORS

There was this Norwegian who was on vacation in Florida. All his life he'd wanted to have a pair of alligator shoes, and now he thought he would finally be able to get around to buying a pair. Gator shoes are expensive, of course, and his attempts to haggle down the price didn't work.

Finally the Norwegian yelled out in anger, "Yust keep your lousy shoes. If dat's how it's going to be, den I'll yust get myself a boat, go out into da svamp, catch a gator and make my own shoes!"

The owner of the store just looked stupidly at him, "Yeah, sure, and give my best regards to the Swedes who're already up there trying to do that."

The Norwegian rented a boat and headed out into the swamp. After a while he found two Swedes standing up to their knees in the water. Both of them were holding a spear pointed at the water.

“They must be da Svedes,” the Norwegian thinks. Suddenly there's movement in the water and an alligator swims towards one of the Swedes. The Swede is standing there like a statue, just waiting for the big gator to get closer. When the gator is close by, the Swede sticks his spear into the gator, and with a bit of fighting, he gets the beast onto the land where there is already a big pile of gators. The Swede turns the gator on his back and examines its feet, only to exclaim, “Darn! No shoes on dis one eider!"
