Tommie can’t hear me because Tommie is no longer with us. Tommy validated both Darwin’s “Natural Selection” and “Survival of the Fittest” theories when he willingly (er, make that stupidly) became dinner for an eleven (11) foot alligator in the early morning hours of Saturday, July 4th, 2015.
Ignoring both the desperate pleas’ of his friends and the clearly posted warning signs (which were put up by employees at Burkhart’s Marina in Orange, Texas), Tommie went swimming around 2.30 am in the Texas Bayou at the private marina. Before jumping in the alligator infested waters, however, Tommie reportedly took a moment to mock the gators before jumping in.
Per Captain Enmon: “The owners of the marina recently had spotted a large alligator on a few occasions, and put up a sign warning people to stay out of the water. You’ve got to remember that alligators are a predatory species, they are territorial, and they will take advantage of an opportunity.” Note: Do you think so? Darwin does. I do. Maybe Tommie missed the elementary school science block on
The silver lining for Tommie Woodward is that he will now go down in Texas history for breaking a 179 year streak and being the first person killed by an alligator in Texas since 1836.
Memo to the Folks: Tommie may have been a “classy Mother f*cker”, but he also was clearly not the brightest bulb on the tree…
Some signs are truly stupid….
That said I leave it to you to decide which one’s to follow and which to ignore.
