See You Later - Alligator!


I read with not a small amount of bemusement about an alleged Amazon shipment that didn't arrive to the purchaser. Said purchaser called customer service asking what happened to the shipment and was informed by the CSR that the reason why the package didn't arrive is because it was...wait for it....eaten by an alligator.

Now - I don't know the authenticity of this story. If it's part urban legend, totally true, or perhaps the "eaten by an alligator" was just the CSR parlance or euphemism for "dude - we have no idea where the package is".

Still - I find it amusing to visualize what could have happened, in this universe or an alternate one. I can just imagine the delivery dude somehow notifying his superior that said delivery was no more and was nothing more than an appetizer for the 'gator in question.
