Smoked crack, got his life back

I don't recommend smoking crack in general, but if you do, you should steer way clear of any alligator pits. Adrian J. Apgar didn't, and it almost cost him his life.

LAKELAND -- A man who was attacked by an alligator this morning was naked and smoking crack at the time, Polk County deputies who rescued him said today.

Of course the amazing part of the story is that the guy actually survived. Neighbors called the cops when they heard Apgar screaming for help - at 4 A.M.

When 5-0 arrived, he was pretty much inside the alligator. It took four of them to pull him out. And he still lost an arm.

I hope it wasn't his smokin' arm!

This would seem amazing when you think of how many people - completely sober ones at that - don't survive alligator attacks, except I think we all know crackheads have superhuman strength.
