Crazy as it sounds, I'm beginning to think some people still have not seen "Joe Dirt." What other explanation is there for this man so flippantly ignoring the three rules to remember for dealing with a deadly alligator.
In the most appropriately titled YouTube video of all time, "Golf stupidity," a man decides the appropriate course of action after hitting his golf ball near a gator was to put a towel over its head and then grab it around the neck. Long story short, he's lucky the gator was so nice.
For the record, if this is how Chubbs Peterson lost his hand to a gator, he deserved it.
