A golfer trying to retrieve a ball from a pond at a South Carolina golf course was attacked by an alligator. The reports says that the gator bit off his forearm.
Luckily, the elderly man is alive but is still recovering in a local hospital. Ironically I just wanted Happy Gilmore two nights ago. This is a sad instance of live imitating art.
Chubbs: Back in 1965, Sports Illustrated said I was going to be the next Arnold Palmer.
Happy Gilmore: Yeah? What happened?
Chubbs: They wouldn’t let me play on the Pro Tour anymore.
Happy Gilmore: Ah, I’m sorry. Because you’re black?
Chubbs: Hell no! Damned alligator BIT my hand off!
[Shows Happy his wooden hand]
Happy Gilmore: OH MY GOD!
Chubbs: Yeah. tournament down in Florida. I hooked my ball in the rough down by the lake. Damned alligator just POPPED up, cut me down on my prime. He got me, but I tore one of that bastard’s eyes out though. Look at that.
[Shows Happy a small glass jar with an eyeball in it]
Happy Gilmore: You’re pretty sick, Chubbs.
Of course, we hope the real-life victim is okay.
By the way, was Happy Gilmore the last really, truly good Sandler movie? And don’t give me that Big Daddy shit…

Longfellow Deeds: Crazy Eyes.
Crazy Eyes: Hey, Deeds.

Crazy Eyes: Oh, yes. French Fries and Oreos, you know me all too well, Deeds.
