Alligator Shoes

A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator¹ shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors² were asking.After becoming very frustrated³ with the "no haggle⁴" attitude of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Maybe I'll just 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!" Determined⁵, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching⁶ herself an alligator.Later in the day, the shopkeeper was driving home, when he spotted⁷ the young woman standing⁸ waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he saw a huge 9-foot alligator swimming quickly toward her. She took aim, killed the creature, and with a great deal of effort hauled it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watched in amazement⁹. Just then the blonde flipped¹⁰ the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Damn it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
