Chinese Riddle for Ya

Tastes like chicken? Or crack?
Further proof that wrestling alligators should be left to men in khaki get-ups.

This is literally the kind of shit that a high school newspaper puts in its April Fools edition. You couldn't script a goofier headline than Gator Attacks Naked Man on Crack. Priceless. This is a situation where you couldn't recreate this if you tried. You could put a dude on the banks of this lake, and give him like three eight balls, and you still couldn't produce this result. At the very least he might leave his clothes on, and really, if that's the case, this story isn't nearly as interesting. This is the perfect combination of all elements Americans love: nudity, drugs and animal attacks. This is like three different Fox specials wrapped into one.

If you're a morning news anchor, how in the hell do you tell this story with a straight face?
