George Gobel told a story on one of his recent programs that went like this:

A man went swimming by himself, and an alligator came up and bit off one of his legs. He screamed for help, and a man came running, and asked:

"What's the trouble?"

Said the other:

"An alligator bit off one of my legs."

The man asked: "Which one?"

And the man answered:

"How do I know? I can't tell one alligator from another !"
