Hey guys – I PROMISE you that alligators don’t qualify as a “chick magnet”…

...at least not with THIS chick.

But according to this Associated Press news article, Dewayne Yarbrough, an Illinois Romeo wannabe, kept a four-foot alligator to impress the ladies.

Turns out he impressed the cops, who charged him with keeping a dangerous animal.

Yarbrough told police officers that he kept the allligator in a small tank and fed it only 10 mice a week to keep it from growing too large.

Of course, in my opinion, ANY alligator found indoors is too large.

I'm just sayin'.
