My sister Rafaella found the aardvark, and my friend Albert wants her to find him a rhinoceros. Perhaps if you search for ‘rufus alligator’ in the SDMB search engine, you will find what you are looking for. I did post in the thread about the guy in Indiana who married his daughter and had a pet alligator. Perhaps that is what you are remembering. Perhaps I’m too old to use the word ‘perhaps’ more than twice in one thread??? 😛 ---

No offense intended **Rufus** but since this thread has taken on some implied if not explicit comments of a sexual nature. I wouldn’t want to be accused of corrupting our youth. You know they’ve killed people for that at various times and places. Also, hemlock makes a poor margarita. 😉 In any event, nevermind the question of age. Intelligence, wisdom and respect are not determined by the date of one’s birth. ---
