A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking.
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle" 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!"
Determined, the blonde turned and headed for the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator. Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home, when he spots the young woman standing waist deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot alligator swimming quickly toward her.
She takes aim, kills the creature and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper watches in amazement.
Just then the blonde flips the alligator on its back, and frustrated, shouts out, "Dang it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
This mama got a new pair of shoes:

Lovely! I'm between projects, burned out on mittens and hats, although I need some more hats to make sets with the gloves. There was a little kid staying next door over the weekend and stupid me I forgot to measure him for mitten strings. I did remember to measure the back of his hand using my fingers held together so I would have a sense of how small their little hands are at that age.
Love the shoes. No more excuses for taking a daily walk.
I could go for shoes like those, they're great. But of course my ideal is to acquire some curly-toed Arabian slippers.
Pretty shoes!
Loved the story!!
You didn't have to wrestle a pair of alligators, either!
These aren't walking shoes. These are shopping shoes. Maybe I should go shopping for some walking shoes.
