A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of
Louisiana's bayou-country.
She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the
worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high
prices the local sellers were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle"
attitude of one of the shop-keepers, the blonde
shouted, "Maybe I'll go out and catch my own alligator
so I can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"
The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe
you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!"
Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the
swamps, set on catching herself an alligator.
Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when
he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the
water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge
9-foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She
takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of
effort hauls it onto the swamp bank.
Laying nearby were several more of the dead creatures.
The shopkeeper watches in amazement.
Just then the blonde flips the alligator on it's back,
and frustrated, shouts out
"DAMN IT !! This one's barefoot too!"

In October, the Indians asked their Chief if the coming winter was going to be cold or not. Not really knowing the answer, the chief replied that the winter will be cold and that the members of the village should collect wood to be prepared.
Being a good leader, he then went to a phone booth, called the National Weather Service and asked, "Is this winter to be cold?
The man on the phone responded, "This winter is indeed going to be very cold."
So the Chief went back to encourage his people to collect even more wood to be prepared. A week later he called the National Weather Service again, and asked again, "Is it going to be a very cold winter?"
"Yes," the man replied, "it's going to be a very cold winter."
The Chief went back to his people and ordered them to go out and bring back every scrap of wood they could find.
Two weeks later he called the National Weather Service again. "Are you absolutely sure that this winter is going to be very cold?
"Absolutely" the man replies, "the Indians are collecting wood like crazy!"
