Post-oil spill, the petroleum company lawyer told the work-deprived fishermen that they’d get financial compensation if they agreed to “certain conditions”.
The residents, sick, broke and angry, agreed.
Collecting their signed claims, the lawyer reassured them it’d be okay, that the company was “in control.”
The huge, sudden gator who later ate him felt otherwise.

I hate those sudden gator attacks. (I tried tums, but they just don't work.) This is ironically perfect, Steve.
Ironic and perfect 55.
Some might call it 'rough justice' For all the innocent creatures that died at the hands of the oil spill and are still dying because of it. I say, serves him right ..yeah!
One crock eaten by another? Poetic justice. :)
When predators fight, it can get ugly!
Gators just EAT...Period!
They don't think about fair or Not!
Most excellent 55 Steve

i wonder if the gator's stomach was upset by such a foul meal.
Ah, to be brought down to such a nasty diet. Excellently done.
