“Huge crocodiles living in Lake Placid,” I said, checking the price on a Sarah Palin mask.
“Obviously,” I replied.

What a croc!
I remember the first time I saw him. It’s still so fresh in my mind — like it happened yesterday. What could I do? I’d had my share of drinks that night. But just the same, there it was, coming out of the water toward me.
Of course, I’m
