While sports fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his
boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to
the overturned craft.
Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist
shouted,"Are there any gators around here?!"
"Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
"Feeling safe, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the
shore. About halfway there he asked the guy,"How'd you get rid of
the gators?"
"We didn't do nothin'," the beachcomber said. "The sharks got 'em."
