What’s That Coming out of the Sewer? Is it an Alligator?!!!(Image courtesy Worth 1000) Posted: 5 months ago by bornbad
1935. Two boys are busy clearing East 123rd Street of February snowfall by shovelling it down an open manhole. Next thing, they spot something large and reptilian lurking in the icy waters below. With much effort and no little rope, they manage to lasso and heave up a seven-foot alligator. Once at street level, the alligator begins snapping its sizable set of jaws, so the boys, being boys, proceed to beat it to death with their shovels.
