a pet alligator on a leash

From the is-this-for-real department…

A Phillies fan tried to get into the baseball game with an alligator on a leash, saying it was a “service animal”. Judging by the picture, this alligator is at least 6 feet long, which is certainly large enough to seriously injure someone.

Surely this is a prank or joke or Photoshop. Has an alligator ever been domesticated? They don’t really care for humans, in general. I’ve never heard of one being a pet. And the danger factor is off-the-charts — one bite and you could lose an arm or a leg. So I’d guess this is not real. However, people do weird things, and it would not surprise me if someone actually attempted this. It doesn’t make any logical sense, but since when has that stopped some people?

Okay, so I did some research, and this actually is an emotional support animal named Wally for someone in Philadelphia. So it’s legit, but why? How does an alligator provide emotional support? I don’t get it. Honestly, if an alligator is what is giving you emotional support maybe feelings aren’t for you… 🙂

FYI, the gator wasn’t allowed into the game. I hope security took advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to say “See you later alligator!”

funny pictures, episode 11

I already know that some upcoming posts will feature ranting and rambling and nerdiness.  While you wait, here’s some funny pictures for your viewing pleasure.

This is from the Rosco P. Coltrane school of flying.

This would make a great conversation starter. Except that people everywhere would be laughing at you.

There are people who live this way, who hunt gators for a living. Now they even have their own TV show called Swamp People. Crazy...

While that may happen, some people fart so much that it's always dangerous to go to their cubicle...

I hope he's not a heavy sleeper!
