Aligator Hunter

While on vacation Rob transfered into the "aligator hunter" while I got to stay at the house and study, do school work, write papers, and take exams. He has always said he "wants to see real aligators, up close, and not in a cage. Great if you want to be in a Happy Gilmore or Peter Pan movie.
After noticing he was gone for hours and I had not heard from him here is how a cell phone conversation between us would go (of course I called him- he's a man):
Me: Are you having fun yet?

Rob: Are you done studying? These gators are huge. You can find them everywhere.

Me: do you have all your limbs?

Rob: Yes, but I've never seen gators this big.

Me: did you get close to them?

Rob: do I still have all my limbs?

He saw some men wrestling with a gator to re-locate to another area- homeowners didn't want it as a back yard pet. After they duct taped it's mouth and tied it up, Rob went closer for a 'better look'

Gator men: You can come closer and look if you want

Rob moving closer to take a look at the gator.

Gator men: You can touch him if you want.

Rob: I know duct tape and I'm not getting that close

The gator was huge 10 feet.

Oh yeah Rob did come home with all his limbs- much to my joy....
