A young blonde was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted 
to take home a pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way... but 
was very reluctant to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking 
for the highly prized shoes.
 
After becoming very frustrated with the "no haggle on prices" attitude
of one of the shopkeepers, the blonde shouted, "Well then, maybe I'll
just go out and catch my own alligator, so I can get a pair of shoes 
at a decent price.
 
The shopkeeper said with a sly, knowing smile, "Little lady, y'all 
just go and give it a try, why don'cha!"

The blonde turned on her heels and headed out toward the swamps, 
determined to catch herself an alligator .
 
Later in the day, as the shopkeeper is driving home, he pulls over to 
the side of the levee where he spots that same young woman standing 
waist deep in the murky bayou water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he 
spots a huge 9-foot gator swimming rapidly toward her. With lightning 
speed, she takes aim, kills the creature . .and, with a great deal of

effort, hauls it onto the slimy swamp bank. Lying nearby were several 
more of the dead creatures.

The shopkeeper stands on the bank and watches this scenario in amazed
silence. Just then, the blonde struggles and flips the gator on its 
back. Then, rolling her eyes heaven-ward and screaming in great 
frustration,she shouts out...
 
"Man, this one is barefoot, too!"
