Man kept alligator to "woo" women
A Chicago man who was arrested for keeping a four-foot alligator denied Tuesday that he had the reptile as a pet in an attempt to woo women. After being arrested in May, it was widely reported that Dewayne Yarbrough told police he was keeping the bizarre pet in a tiny tank in his kitchen because "chicks dig it."
Yarbrough's alleged comments even sparked a parody of him on "Saturday Night Live."
The 43-year-old from Ford Heights, Ill., pleaded guilty in a Markham court Tuesday to possessing a dangerous animal, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. He was sentenced to a year's conditional discharge.
"It was a matter of time before it bites somebody," Cook County Judge C. J. Donnelly told Yarbrough during his court appearance. "What were you going to do then?"
Yarbrough replied, "Throw it near a swamp."

I like his reason for not naming it.

Now why do you think the guys on "Swamp People" are all so happy despite having the smile of a Jack-O-Lantern.

"It's a great life. You risk your skin catching killers and the juries turn them loose so they can come back and shoot at you again. If your honest , your poor your whole life. And , In the end , you wind up dying all alone on some dirty street. For what? For nothing. For a tin star."
Far from being a handicap to command, compassion is the measure of it. For unless one values the lives of his soldiers and is tormented by their ordeals , he is unfit to command.

It will come if you call it while holding several pounds of chicken meat in your hands. I don't think you need a name for that though.
