Help wanted: Alligators
By Cindy Steinle · December 23, 2010 11:22 am
The classified ad is titled "Alligators." It starts out saying "two weeks ago we found one alligator. We're still looking for two more alligators to fill the two positions that are open." The ad goes on several more lines but closes asking interested applicants to call Mr. Alligator. “It's something to catch people's eyes,” said Peebles. “The actual ad I didn't write. I don't want to take credit for that, but it's kind of funny.” “Someone asked me, 'is Mr. Alligator there?' and I was pretty shocked,” said Jeremy Peebles, Dan’s son and an agent at the insurance company. “I thought it was a prank at first because they never told me about it.”Here I got all excited that some of our rescue animals could pay their own way in an insurance advertisement. Alas, the description of alligators in the ad was actually probably the most benign I have ever seen, "semi-obnoxious and pushy." I spose that I can live with.
