Gator wasnt on the menu but one did make an appearance inside a Wendys just east of Loxahatchee in Royal Palm Beach. And it wasnt by choice.
A Jupiter man threw it through the restaurants drive-thru window, according to a Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission incident report.
It happened in October but the suspect was just taken into custody by US Marshals.
FWC officials say 23-year-old Joshua James pulled up for his order and after a server handed over a drink and turned around James reached into the back of his truck and tossed the 3-and-a-half foot gator through the drive-thru window.

Isn't that your buddy in the wood chipper? And it's a beautiful day.
(Sorry. Could not resist the cultural analogy.)
My best to you. Have a heart.

(6,409 posts)11. I like that movie
Listening to the accents is like going to a family reunion. My only complaint is with the scene where he visits her old classmate in Minneapolis, and he talks like he still lives in Warroad. I guess the producers wouldn't know this, but people who move to the Twin Cities lose some of the accent after a couple years there. Uffda!
