Smiling with a crocodile is a lot different than smiling at one.

They say that you should never smile at a crocodile, but this one smiled at me, so what the heck avenue should I do? If you go to the Everglades, you can get to meet crocs. We saw one munching on a large Anhinga (bird.)
The little guy seemed harmless enough, although I held him/her only long enough to get this photo.
And, from Peter Pan:
“Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can’t get friendly with a crocodile
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile.”
OK, here’s a joke (get ready for special instructions:) An elephant is drinking in the river. A crocodile swims over and bites off the elephant’s trunk. The elephant looks down and says (pinch your nose) , “Very funny, very funny.”

Riding around the Everglades in an air-boat driven by a local denizen, you can get close to a crocodile. (I guess it could be an alligator…not sure) I think the guides have a deal with the neighborhood crocs who secretly get pieces of meat to come near the boat.
Hello. What’s that ticking sound? This one came to the boat looking for spare change. He wanted to go for coffee. I suggested Starbucks. Paul Goldfinger photo. ©

FRANKIE RANDALL “As Long As She Needs Me.” This ballad was sung by a woman in the film version of Oliver.
Frankie Randall (1938-2014) was a Passaic, New Jersey born singer and jazz pianist.
When I was a senior at Rutherford High School, across the river from Passaic, Randall performed with his trio. He was about 20 years old then, and the boys in our jazz band were thrilled because he was using the “cool jazz” style which had just come into vogue. I don’t recall that he sang. His bio. says that he was known only for his piano playing early in his career.
