Alligator shoes

A man was on holiday in the depths of Louisiana, where he tried to buy some Alligator shoes. However he was not prepared to pay the high prices, and after having failed to haggle the vendor down to a reasonable price level, ended up shouting "I don't give two hoots for your shoes man, I'll go and kill my own 'gator!," to which the shopkeeper replied, "By all means, just watch out for those two 'old boys' who are doing the same!".

So the man went out into the Bayou, and after a while saw two men with spears, standing still in the water.

'They must be the 'ole boys'' he thought. Just at that point he noticed an alligator moving in the water towards one of them. The guy stood completely passive, even as the alligator came ever closer.

Just as the beast was about to swallow the man, he struck home with his spear and wrestled the 'gator up onto the beach, where several other alligators were already lying. Together the two guys threw the creature onto its back, whereupon one exclaimed "Darn! This one doesn't have any shoes either!".
