Preview |6:02 PM| As PortalStar and I were walking around the zoo, we spotted some alligators. As I was standing there watching them try to look like logs (so the bald monkey could get close enough to bite in half) another group was walking up. It was a family, and the 12-14 year old daughter (the sound of whose voice told me everything I needed to know about her) was saying "Oooh alligators! I'm gonna hit one with a stick!"
While I would have preferred this person to be horribly eaten, the zoo probably would have had to put the attacking alligator down. So I casually say to no one in particular
"You know, an alligator can jump up to 20 feet straight up in the air."
The girl replied, with a gasp,
"Are you serious?"
Not looking at her, I strolled away. I noticed her hurrying to the next exibit, without having molested any alligators.
