Try and prove me wrong! lol
Here is a little taste of what I can do at my job besides arrest people.
My buddy gets a signal-30 call, that means animal call. Animal calls are usually just a stray dog. So it was about 15 min to the end of shift, and I was like "what the hell, you can't hold that for next shift?!?" Then they say there is an alligator on the bridge, in the running path! Well I was the furtherst away and still managed to get there first . I get there, sure as **** I find a 8 foot gator! So my zone partner from New York won't get within 15 feet of the gator, and there is a 3 foot cement barrier between it and us. So I go and grab a pole out of my car to poke test it, do that 'yep, its alive alright.' After my buddies tell me I am crazy and that I'm going to get bit 2 people that can help me show up. We send the first two clowns to direct traffic and people away. So my Sarge and the animal guy get to work. Well the gator bent and broke our first catch pole by doing its roll. We get a few nylon lines on it, then another catch pole and the animal guy jumps on its back and duct tapes it up. Then its time to move it and I get the head! By the noise this thing is making I can tell its super ****** and wants to tear into me. Its the most god awful noise when they suck in air. I make a comment on how the thing is staring me down, the animal guy then goes "yeah they have really cool eyes. they have 2 eyelids" he then pokes the gator in the eye several times to prove to me what he jsut said is true. Lets just say that did not make the gator any happier.
In the picture you can see that it is half way in the truck. Well we could not get it all the way in because the catch pole would not come off, since we taped the mouth shut. So i had to stand there and hold this gator up and they cut the stainless steel line. And I'll tell yuo what, gators and heavy and muscular as heck. They don't look it but they are
The only bad thing about the whole thing was that was the first day with that uniform. Gators stink! I was so pumped up I couldn't sleep.
Here is a bad picture, its a scan of a copy made on a cheap inkjet. I am working on getting the originals.
Thats me on my soap box saying how cool my job is!
