And there I was thinking “alligator petting” was a new euphemism I hadn’t seen yet, but no - just stupidity and alcohol combining for a slightly more tragic than usual outcome.
Sigh.
Maybe we could try to make “alligator petting” a thing?

The AP story actually said:
“Covert was the third person killed by an alligator in South Carolina in the past four years.

Before those attacks, South Carolina had never recorded a person killed by an alligator.”

Even if one doesn’t know that an alligator kills its prey by drowning it, and even if one can’t clearly see that an alligator is a giant ass monster lizard with huge teeth…
I’ve seen an alligator shred a car bumper like it was made of paper. What would possess anyone to 1) approach one and 2) pet it?

…The woman and her husband started screaming for Covert to get away from the alligator because they saw it grab a deer a few days earlier, deputies said.
Covert said “I don’t look like a deer” and reached to touch the alligator when the animal attacked, according to the report. (AP)
Oh, dear. That kind of reasoning—or lack of—sounds like alcohol + mother’s little helpers.

Wet nails.
Florida has 4 times the population of South Carolina, which may explain the disparity in numbers of idiotic happenings. Given all the specifics of the story though, SC may be aiming for quality rather than quantity.

I think posthumous awards are overrated.
But aren’t both getting bigger all the time?
