Re: Friday Funny



Ya, know Dean --

I used to think it was quite a sight (in those long-ago days that I lived in
Tampa/Temple Terrace) to watch golfers working the links amidst the
palmetto-lined creeks with 'gators lounging thereabouts. I suppose the
alligators would have a pretty hard time swallowing a 9-iron, but I still
wonder about the golf balls?

This one was really good...
