While sport fishing off the Florida coast, a tourist capsized his boat. He could swim, but his fear of alligators kept him clinging to the overturned craft.
Spotting an old beach comber standing on the shore, the tourist shouted "Are there any Gators around here?!"
"Naw," the man hollered back, "they ain't been around for years!"
Feeling save, the tourist started swimming leisurely toward the shore.
About halfway there he asked the man "How did you get rid of all the Gators?"
"We didn't do nothing", the beachcomber said "The sharks got them".
