This sounds like the beginning of a joke. But in fact, a few weeks ago an alligator actually did walk into Harlow's Hideout, an outdoor tiki bar on the St. Lucie River in Stuart, Florida, and seen in the photograph above. It was a juvenile, about 4 feet long, hanging out behind some lounge chairs. The management summoned the Stuart Police Department, who removed the alligator and relocated it to a more alligator friendly location. But the news reports never mentioned what happened at that tiki bar between the time the alligator was spotted and when it was taken away by the police. Keep in mind it was happy hour, and this is Florida, after all, and so I imagine people just continued with their happy hour routine. The alligator was hanging out in its spot behind the lounge chairs, minding its own business, the bar was still serving drinks, and so business as usual, right? Sounds perfectly logical to me. I'm sure the same thing would have happened in Denver if alligators were more commonplace there.
