Stupid, yes. But in a sort of awesome kind of way.
I can think of worse: “Hey, watch this!”, “I wonder what happens if I-”, “Don’t worry, I’ve done this before.” to give just three examples. Or even worse: “Oops!”
Panda - eats shoots and leaves.
Alligator - eats morons.
“Don’t worry, it’s not loaded.”
Last words like that are all you need to know to write the obituary.
Obviously the sign will now need to be amended… butt how?
NO SWIMMING MAN EATING ALLIGATORS?
NO SWIMMING, MAN-EATING ALLIGATORS?
NO, SWIMMING MAN EATING ALLIGATORS?
You’re not getting into the mentality of the victim. It needs to be something like:
PLEASE FEED THE ALIGATORS.
Someone killed the alligator that killed the idiot. It’s a shame, not only did he Darwin himself, but he got an alligator killed for being an alligator.
To be fair, the signs look like so:
NO SWIMMING
ALLIGATORS
That poor marina worker. So what is one supposed to do when one sees someone being consumed by an alligator? There but for the grace of brains go I?
I first read that as “Panda eats, shoots, and leaves” and was wondering just what the preferred kind of firearm is for a Ailuropoda melanoleuca and was it a “hit” or just frustration over the rotten service. Wow! The OP may have been on to something! 
It was very easy to read this as…
That poor marinara worker.
New sign: HUMAN RECYCLING HERE!
So it looks like the alligator ate only one forearm. Stupid must taste bad.
Hold my beer and watch this!
That sucks. They could have started calling him “Chomper”.
Don’t forget the perennial classic, “Here, hold my beer.”
There needs to be a sign with a silhouette of a person jumping into the open mouth of an alligator, plus the words, “Volunteer alligator feeding here”.
The problems with a “No Swimming, Alligators” sign are:
-
How do you expect the alligators to read it?
-
Do you have paths for the alligators to walk around on so they can avoid swimming?
Have fun, guys.
For those who don’t follow stories, the gator was killed. Police are sure it was a revenge killing, since the dead gator was left on the boat ramp. And the good old boys who killed it said it was for revenge.
Surely this is a comment on the sad state of American education when our alligator citizens cannot read a three word phrase. I insist on immediate remedial reading courses for all alligators, accompanied by vision screenings and gubmint paid for reading glasses for those alligators unable to afford them. And lets not forget the necessary studies on the prevalence of learning disabilities in the alligator population. Perhaps there is something in the water, or their diet of ignorant American fools, that leads to such disabilities. Don’t let our alligators be outpaced in learning by the alligators in other countries. Educate our alligators!
I believe the term is Alligator-Americans.
