Don’t Tell Jim!

When he finds out he’s not even safe here

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A 2-foot alligator — thought to be an escaped pet — was found and captured as residents of Gloucester Township, N.J., cleaned up Sunday in the wake of Irene.

A resident of an apartment complex spotted the reptile about 1:45 p.m. local time, lurking under a bridge by a lake.

   Wonderful word, ” lurk”

   And one so seldom finds occasion to use it in a sentence.

   Whoever let that thing loose should be dragged off and shot.
