What do you do when there’s an 11-foot alligator blocking the road? Not what Glen Bonin and his three friends tried to do when it happened in Sulphur, Louisiana.
"(We) took our shirts off, threw it on his (the gator's) face, and we were going to come from behind it and jump on it... in the process of doing that, it spun around and grabbed my hand seconds before we jumped on it," Bonin said.
The alligator then snapped at Bonin, biting his hand and sending him into a daze.
"It felt like someone was pulling my arm out. I thought I was about to lose something. It felt like it lasted forever," Bonin said.
Bonin received 80 stitches and a lesson in the wrong way to deal with an alligator.
"I've always been the kind of guy who learns the hard way," said Glen Bonin.
If you ever find yourself in this position, it’s best to call law enforcement or wildlife authorities. You might even consider using a different route until the gator is gone. KPLC has some video footage of the gator encounter, in which it appears there was much more interaction with the animal than was necessary to unblock traffic. -via Arbroath

BTW I'm on the alligator's side.
(Wonder if he knows why it is called The Three Musketeers when there were four.)
Neatorama's Alex is not a dumb-ass though he does have a similar first name to Monsieur Dumas.
Are you familiar with the Dumas method?
2) His wife called him on a landline.
Also one reason for long queues is that retailers pay their employees for their time, but not their customers. So provided the customers are happy, the retailer has no reason to make their wait shorter.
and they always only have 100s...
who buys a carton of 100s??
When I was ready to check out, there were two registers open, both together, and each having one customer, no lines. I stood behind them both, but aligned in the middle, so I could step up to the next available register.
Well, some alpha male steps up behind me a couple of minutes later, huffs and says, "Which register are you at?" I politely replied, "Whichever opens first," and smiled. The man became visibly annoyed and huffed again.
His hope, apparently, was simply to have the opportunity at getting behind the faster person and getting out first. In my head, it just made more sense to prevent either of us from getting stuck waiting forever.
I do not care if my line is the fastest (BB). I care that I don't choose the slowest or BB. According to his math, I have a 4 out of 6 chance of choosing one that isn't the slowest.
Problem solved!
