Bob's Eye View Blog

A good friend of mine from California posted a comment yesterday about Alligator Bob-ee.  I published the comment, but for some strange reason, it does not appear as a comment on the blog.  Technology is not my friend.  Many of you may have posted comments as well, but nothing seems to appear.  For now, if you want to comment about a blog entry, still try to post it, but also e-mail me at Bnathanson@aol.com.  I will attempt to fix the problem.  It should be fixed about the same time that the U.S. gets universal health care.

As I was saying in yesterday's entry, I put on my socks, shoes, bathing suit, a new pair of pants, a shirt and tie, and headed out the door on the way to my interview for the position of alligator wrestler.  Next stop, Alligator Arena, which is not across the street from Johnson & Johnson Ear Wax Remover Stadium, as I said yesterday, but rather it is across the street from the Windex Glass Cleaner with Ammonia-D Arena.

As I approached the arena, an ambulance was pulling away at a high rate of speed.  The parking lot attendant asked what I was there for.  "I'm applying to be an alligator wrestler," I proudly said.  "In that case, you'll have to pay in advance," came his dry reply.

As I walked towards the administration office, I passed the alligator pool.  "Is the water supposed to be so red?" I wondered.  As I entered the office, I was greeted by the Seminole Indian interviewer, Billie Two-Fingers.  I was reluctant to ask him how he got his name, although the answer was painfully obvious.  He was also missing his right ear.  We shook hands, and the interview began.

Billie: "Do you have a living will?"

Me:" I think I left the dome light on in my car.  I'll be right back."

I didn't really have my heart set on a career as an alligator wrestler anyway.

I asked 31 people in line to be interviewed for the position of alligator wrestler the following question:

Would you rather wrestle a) a wounded grizzly bear b) an angry  giant anaconda snake, or

   c) Pamela Anderson

1 person said grizzly bear

1 person said anaconda snake

20 people said Pamela Anderson

9 people had no opinion
