My friend's brother-in-law Oli, a dyed in the wool Florida redneck, was somewhat annoyed when his brother-in-law Glenn did not believe how big an alligator Oli had seen actually was. So they go out to the place (near but not in the Everglades, IIRC), Oli sneaked up, grabbed a wading bird with. his. bare. hands, wrung its neck, and then used it to lure the gator out of the water. While Oli was hitting the gator over the head with the dead bird, backing up fast so the alligator gets fully on the ground, Oli's yelling (and laughing!), "Measure him, Glenn, MEASURE him!" Glenn, being relatively smart, a civilized redneck, and at this point in time, fairly agile, was already on the ROOF of the truck they had driven out there.
