Three men in Louisiana, A white man, a black man and a Mexican man, are all falsely accused of a crime but convicted anyway. They escape for the Louisiana State Penitentiary and the guard dogs are picking up their scent and starting to chase. The men come to the edge of the swamp and can't go further. They think the are in trouble, but then a 50 foot long alligator swims up and says, "I'll help you! I will take you across the swamp one at a time." The white man pushes foreword and says,"Out of my way!" and hops on the alligator. The alligator swims halfway across the swamp and rolls the man into the water and eats him. The alligator the swims back to the two remaining men. The black man goes next and when they are half way across the swamp, the alligator eats him, too. The alligator swims back but when he reaches the shore, the Mexican says, "No way! You weren't gone long enough to bring those people across. You probably went half way across and then ate them" The alligator tells him, "I promise to take you all the way across." The Mexican hops on and the alligator takes him across to the other side. The Mexican says," Thanks, but why didn't you eat me like you did the other two?" The alligator replies, "Are you kidding?! I had Mexican last week....... and my butt still hurts!"
