Have you ever seen a flying alligator?
A worker at a Wendy's drive-thru did when a customer allegedly threw a 3-and-a-half-foot alligator into the window at restaurant in Florida, according to an incident report, WPTV reported.
Joshua James, 23, of Jupiter, allegedly pulled up to the drive-thru window for his order, got a drink from the employee, and then threw the alligator into the restaurant, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission told the station.
James is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, illegally killing, possessing or capturing an alligator, and second-degree larceny petit theft, according to the Palm Beach Sheriffs Office.
The incident occurred at a restaurant east of Loxahatchee, Fla., in October, but James was arrested by U.S. Marshals this week, WPTV reported.

"Special: McGator Bites, While They Last" would have instantly appeared on the readerboard.

Any self-respecting restaurant down there would have had a special on alligator sauce piquant, which does, in fact, taste sort of like chicken. The day after I had it in the French Quarter, Mom and I went uptown to the Audubon Zoo, which, of course, has many gators. She swore they were giving me the stink-eye!
