(June 2014, Florida) Tour guide Lance Lacrosse is either incredibly smart or incredibly dumb depending on whether one values money or safety uppermost. Smart at making $$$ by behaving in a manner so sensational that videos go viral. Dumb at surviving due to his habit of feeding alligators marshmallows that he holds between his teeth. Swimming with alligators is a good way to get attention and helps this tour guide make a living, but that living won't last long if he doesn't change his ways. An Honorable Mention to Lacrosse for actions so risky that even a five year old child knows they're dumb. As a warning to others, Lacrosse is serving well.

Authorities are reviewing the videos to determine if any laws are being broken. Why, yes, at least two laws are being broken -- the natural laws of common sense and survival.


ORIGINAL SUBMISSION:

a man that is a tour guide has been feeding gators marshmallows with his mouth in a Louisiana swamp! The swamp is also full of gators! he has been biten a few times. If he keeps this up he may end up on Darwin's list.

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
The thing that amazes me is that this idiot is downright proud of what he's doing. All its going to take is one gator to sneak up on him from behind or under the water and it's all over. Thanks!
