Henry was aghast. A fully grown alligator was squeezed into his toilet bowl.
How on earth did a fully grown alligator come up through the toilet pipes? You’d think that it wouldn’t be able to jam through.
Henry told his wife. There’s a fully grown alligator curled up in the toilet.
Oh for goodness sake! declared Savanah his wife. When will you never learn? How come I got married to someone so stupid? Of course it couldn’t fit through the toilet pipe. Use your brains. It would have come in under the door.
A very smart couple. I’m sure their conversations revolve around Ezra Pound and modernists when they’re not talking about alligators.

Im glad you are writing stories about giants. There are under represented, especially with stories written from their point of view. Unfortunately, even in this day and age, giants tend to be written about with prejudice and slurs like they’re viscous carnivores. Thank you for writing an accurate and fair representation of the lives of modern giants.

How mistaken can you be? It was a fairy alligator. It was fully grown and the horrible giant tried to step on the poor little thing.

Fairy alligators are pests that infest giants homes and wreck havoc in their bathrooms. The poor giant!

I thought this post was about a mad couple, but I’m now convinced (after reading Iseult’s comment) that it’s about giants. Many thanks for the representation Bruce. There are very few of us in this world.

Being a giant it would be very hard to fill your shoes.

Hopefully, after they get rid of it, it doesn’t come back to bite them…

I read the other day that was wild pigs are taking over the US the gator population is also increasing because they have more food. Which is nice because I love gator meat.

I’m always a bit reluctant to eat the gator that I caught in the bathroom! I’ve never seen an alligator because we don’t have them here in New Zealand.

It was a huge alligator and I fought it off bare handed. Which reminds me – this morning there were five HUGE snorting bulls coming in my gate. I took my umbrella and drove them off and shut the gate!

Perhaps that is what’s referred to as reptile humour. On the fun side, if you could count the scales on its body, it’s two five oh one!

Ha! Thank goodness it went to the bathroom and not the lounge – else it could be mistaken for a lounge lizard.
