A tourist is sport-fishing off the Florida coast when his boat capsizes. He can swim, but he is so afraid of alligators that he clings to the overturned craft.
Spotting an old beachcomber standing on the shore, the tourist shouts, “Are there any gators around here?”
“Naw,” the man hollers back, “they ain’t been around for years.”
The tourist breathes a sigh of relief and starts swimming leisurely toward the shore.
As he nears the beach, he yells to the man, “How’d you get rid of the gators?”
“We didn’t do nothin’,” the beachcomber says. “The sharks got ‘em.”
