Friday Funny



I was sent this:

The Florida State Department of Fish and Wildlife is
advising hikers, hunters, fishers, and golfers to take
extra precautions and keep alert for alligators while
in Osceola, Polk, Brevard, Orange, and Hillsborough
Counties.   They advise people to wear noise-producing
devices such as little bells on their clothing to alert but
not startle the alligators.  They also advice the carrying
of pepper spray in case of an encounter with an alligator.

It is also a good idea to watch for fresh signs of alligator
activity.  People should recognize the difference between
small young alligator and large adult alligator droppings.

Young alligator droppings are smaller and contain fish
bones and possibly bird feathers.  Adult alligators
droppings have little bells in them and smell like pepper spray.
