1. There but for the grace of dog ...

C'mon, which of us HASN'T picked hallucinogenic mushrooms while carrying an alligator in our backpacks?

And, I don't understand, what's the crime here? Why was our intrepid explorer arrested?

3. You ever see a gator on 'shrooms?

It ain't pretty.

21. "Attempting to build a weapon of mass destruction" is the safest bet

Combine a Florida Man, an alligator and a handful of psilocybin mushrooms and you've sown the seeds of destruction of the human race.

Either that, or he was planning something sexual.

2. Why are they picking on Florida Man when there were three others with him?

It's discrimination, I tell you.

Why are you posting a story published four years ago?

5. Could Florida man have avoided arrest if he had not picked magic mushrooms with alligator?

Or, was it the magic mushrooms that was the problem?

8. My Florida sister

Almost got arrested for having a gator skull in her yard so yes the gator is a problem. She was letting the ants eat the flesh so she could make jewelry out of the teeth... also illegal.

19. Picking magic mushrooms shouldn't be a crime; but he should have left the baby gator alone,

especially since he was in a wildlife management area.

20. Is that one crime or two?
