OK, one of my coworkers has an account in that she just asked me about since she's at a complete loss. I have to say that this is the singularly dumbest idea I've ever heard of.

This guy runs an aligator farm. That in and of itself isn't bad at all as far as I'm concerned. Then add in that they serve alcohol, and it's a little worse but still not too bad. The big thing that gets me is that guests are allowed into the alligator pit with no protective gear, no supervision and no safety equipment and allowed to wrestle the gators. That's right, you can walk right up and pet the gators. I've got pictures that I'll try to post later of a customer doing exactly that.

The pit is actually a big mud puddle/manmade swamp surrounded by chainlink fence. Apparently you can take a big stick, some twine and a chicken in with you if you want, since that's what one of the guys in the picture has done. The insured himself labeled the pictures to tell us what was going on, and it's a freaking nightmare.

The best part is that the guy is now buying insurance because he wants to start taking alligators to schools. For some reason, the schools are insisting on insurance coverage before he even steps foot on campus. Imagine that!
