Jeff had made his fortune as a hedge fund manager on Wall Street, but he’d had enough of the pressure, so he decided it was time to retire to Florida for the sunshine and a more relaxed lifestyle.
He bought himself a fabulous villa in the Everglades, and naturally, he was now keen to get to know his neighbours,
So, he decides to throw a big poolside party at his villa, and he invites everyone in the street, including a local politician named Joe Garcia.
Well, the party is going well and everyone’s having a great time. The food’s good, the wine’s the best, and the music has everyone dancing.
As everything’s in full swing, Jeff suddenly shouts, “Now listen up everyone. There’s a 12-foot alligator in the pool, and I’ll buy a brand-new Porsche Cayenne for anyone who’ll join him for a swim.“
Barely had Jeff offered this challenge when he hears the sound of a loud splash.
He looks towards the pool and there’s local politician, Joe Garcia in the water, fighting madly with the alligator.
It’s a mean fight with wrestling, punches, biting, and choke holds. Water is splashing everywhere, and Joe Garcia and the alligator are raising hell.
Finally, after what seemed like an age, Joe Garcia strangles the alligator and leaves it floating on the surface of the pool.
He then staggers wearily out of the pool, as everyone stares at him in disbelief.
“Well, Joe,” says Jeff, “I owe you a Porsche Cayenne.”
“No, that won’t be necessary, I don’t want it,” said Joe.
“Oh, come on,” said Jeff. “I have to give you something, you won the bet.“
“No thanks, I have a nice car and I don’t need another one,” Joe insisted.
“Come on, you were amazing,” said Jeff. “How about I give you a Rolex watch?“
Once again, Joe Garcia says, “No thanks.”
Confused, Jeff asks, “Well then, what do you want?“
Joe looked around suspiciously at his fellow revellers and then said, “I want to get even with the son-of-a-bitch who pushed me in!“
