Funny Snake Story from a friend

Ok the funniest rescue I've been on (I have too many rescue stories):
HMMM I'll share the alligator one:
one night at approx 2 am I get a call from an animal control officer. The ACO from a couple of towns over is explaining that an elderly woman has called 911 due to an "alligator on the front lawn", So guess who gets to get outta bed and go for a 20 mile drive in the middle of the night. So I meet up with the ACO down the street from this womans house. We get our handy maglights out and start investigating. We can litterally hear this poor woman screaming a few yards away, so as we get closer to her yard we see a mass in her yard, Kinda hard to make out, I've got my trusty hook and the ACO has his trusty snare and we're ready to go, well we can make out that it's big and it's green and we take a few more steps and low and behold it is a alligator. Accually an alligator shaped floatation device for the neighbors pool...lololol.
So what am I to do but run up and jump on it like a dumbass, that poor elderly woman thought it was eating "a nice young lady" in her front yard.lol
Anyhow she was quite thankfull for our services, and home we went to share our adventures with our patiently waiting families..
Such fun

Awsome-if it was me,i would probably have run up and wrestled it into submission too-those air filled ones i hear are the most dangerous floaties! :D

It almost bit my leg off, And I don't even get paid for rescues...lol I would've had to sue myself for workmans comp....lol

lmao
well i hope youve been paying yourself workmans comp if you plan to collect-that could get confusing,especially when your running between plainiff and defendants tables countering your own comments.
So did you get any cool scars from the attack?

I would have popped it out of spite. Great story, why are old ladies such babies? Sheeesh

Speaking of crocs, Lake Placid was on sci-fi over the weekend. It was awsome

lol,for a sec i thought you were going to say you have more scar stories than actual scars

Man the story's I could tell about alligators. From an alligator that got into our church, to watching an alligator swim by while me and my brother are holding our breath in a submerged VW, to catching a little 2 footer and taking it to a friends home and having my friends mother chase us out of her house with a broom, and yes, she connected a couple of times with it......Awww....childhood memories.

wow i didnt know illonois had so many gators!Think the only animal that ever charged me as a kid was a scared baby groundhog.
