Ello - Ellen Oh said...: I just saw someone holding a baby alligator on another blog! There must be alligator fever or something!; May 8, 2008 at 12:18 PM
Travis Erwin said...: Wonder what the fine would be for violating this. maybe they feed you to the gators. That would be ironic.; May 10, 2008 at 3:54 PM
Mary Witzl said...: Ooh, I get so confused with these! I know this means that you aren't supposed to feed or disturb alligators, but technically this also means that obnoxious alligators or those that are eating are not allowed -- right? It's like that sentence "Flying planes can be dangerous." So they can. Or so it can.; May 12, 2008 at 8:16 AM
Danette Haworth said...: Ha! Mary, good take on the sign. Yes, we don't want any disturbing-type alligators around, just the regular kind.; May 12, 2008 at 9:02 AM
