Gators, Raccoons and Mice, Oh My!


Tierney's Granny Clipper & Aunt Queenie used to live in Georgia somewhere. I think it's where the famous onions come from. Those two were a pair of pistols. On their 600 acre property, one of the ponds had an alligator who would try and eat Granny Clipper when she would fish for dinner. Aunt Queenie would get a shotgun and try to shoot the gator so it would not eat Granny for dinner. She would also take her shotgun on the back steps and shoot the raccoons who would wander around. She didn't hit much except for her Cadillac in the carport. A 43-year-old woman from Otter Valley, California must have been Aunt Queenie's buddy. She saw mice scampering across her trailer floor so she pulled out her .44-caliber Magnum gun and tried to shoot them dead. The mice did escape unharmed, but unfortunately she dropped the gun. The bullet fired out and struck her in the knee, bounced off the keys on another man's belt loop and hit the man in the musint-touchit. Ouch!
