When I was just a young lad growing up in the Bronx, I was warned not to retrieve my lost Spauldings that rolled into the sewers during a stickball game. I was never told the reason for such a prohibition. I later found out from "reliable" sources, that people who used to vaction in Florida, would bring back baby alligators & then flush them down the toilets only to have them live, breed, grow to huge proportions in the New York sewer system. Now we see the Royal Princess chips with an alligator on them, being used on a boat sailing from New York. These childhood sages must have been right. There are alligators living in the sewers of New York!!!!!!!!!!!!<g>
