...all I can think of

Chubbs: Back in 1965, Sports Illustrated said I was going to be the next Arnold Palmer.
Happy Gilmore: Yeah? What happened?
Chubbs: They wouldn't let me play on the Pro Tour anymore.
Happy Gilmore: Ah, I'm sorry. Because you're black?
Chubbs: Hell no! Damned alligator BIT my hand off!
[Shows Happy his wooden hand]
Happy Gilmore: OH MY GOD!
Chubbs: Yeah. tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of that bastard's eyes out though. Look at that.
[Shows Happy a small glass jar with an eyeball in it]
Happy Gilmore: You're pretty sick, Chubbs.

Putting your arm into a body of water of any size in Florida is just a terrible idea.

[krylon]

That was in Berkley County South Carolina, about 10 miles from me. This dumbass was swimming in the same area where they clean fish. To get into the water he walked by a huge sign that stated " No Swimming, Fish Cleaning Area ".

I loled at the arm coming out of the gator.

John P. Bridge forums? I've been there a couple dozen times and I never even noticed an OT forum. I guess tile setters talk about other stuff sometimes too

No gloves on the guy pulling the arm out of the gator?

Before I even read the thread I was thinking alligator.

I pushed a tee shot into a pond but it rolled in not a splash job so I walked the edge looking to find my ball when I surprised a gator who was sunning on the bank, he ran into the pond scaring the shit out of me, only a 4-5 footer but it's amazing how damm fast they can run with those short legs..

that gator was armed and dangerous

Never try to get a golf ball back by hand, wether in woods or water. Always use a ball retriever to pick up the ball. You never know what may be in the woods ready to bite you or in the water as in this case. Or say bye to it and take out another one.
