STUDENT BUSTED FOR PET ALLIGATORS

A student at the University of Maine, Augusta, is in trouble for taking his five baby pet alligators inside a taxi. The box tipped over and the pet reptiles began crawling around the cab Tuesday. Cab driver Frank Folsom said he helped round up the reptiles, each longer than a foot. 20-year-old student Yifan Sun from China received a summons because alligators are not allowed to be kept in Maine. Sun told police he kept the alligators as pets and was taking them with him to visit someone in Waterville.
* That’s a crock.
* Who was he visiting? Someone with a rat problem?
* I’d ask what Mr. Sun’s roommate thinks of having five alligators in the room, but that’s probably not an issue anymore.
* Oh well, there’s always Uber.
* Five alligators in a cab. Sounds like when my dorm buddies used to go out drinking in college.
* And that’s how the Great Maine Crocodile Infestation first started.
* You don’t think that’s possible? Have you been following the Burmese pythons in Florida?
* You might not be following them but if you’re in a swamp in Florida they could be following you.
