Deputies: Florida man arrested with guns, drugs, and a baby alligator
was the baby alligator loaded? Those things can be dangerous
Just fill his mouth with cannon balls and powder up his tail.
Or so I heard.

It was a baby. Just roll it and smoke it! ;)
I’m shocked that mone of you old farts picked up on the Johnny Horton lyric.
Ashamed actually. And a little appalled.

Actually, I did catch that. I believe the exact lyric is " we fired our cannon till the barrel melted down so we caught an alligator and we fought another round; we filled his head with cannon balls and powdered his behind and when we touched that powder off that gator lost his mind. Weeeell We fired our guns and the British kept acoming, there was as not a many as there was awhile ago, we fired once more and they began to running on down the Mississippi to the gulf of Mexico"
There was no Google googled in this quote
Ha ha ha! I remember it well. For some odd reason, it went right over my head and I didn’t make the connection. Wow, it’s been a lot of years since I’ve heard that one!
