An eccentric millionaire kept live crocodiles in a lake on the grounds of his mansion. He had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day he held a huge party on the grounds near the lake, and during the party he announced, "My dear guests, I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars or my daughter to the man who can swim across this lake full of alligators and emerge unharmed!" As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large SPLASH!! There was one guy in the lake swimming with everything he had. The crowd cheered him on as he swept through the water with awesome speed. Finally, he made it to the other side unharmed. The millionaire was very impressed. He said, "My boy that was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! I am a man of my word and will keep my end of the bargain, so which do you want, my daughter or the one million dollars?" The guy says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't particularly want your daughter! I want the person who pushed me in the LAKE!". |
