An alligator¹ got safely across Highway 80 in Pearl, Miss. — then the jokes started

One person responded to the police department's post suggesting they give it a vest and make it an investi-gator. Someone else suggested that since it was on the highway, it might be a tail-gator.

A MART?NEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez.

In Pearl, Miss., this week, it wasn't a chicken but an alligator that was spotted³ crossing the road. Police helped the reptile⁴ get safely across Highway 80. One person responded to the Pearl Police Department's post about the incident by suggesting they give it a vest and make it an investigator⁵. Someone else suggested, since it was on a highway, it might be a tailgater. Relax, everyone. I do the dumb jokes around here. So see you later, alligator.

It's MORNING EDITION.
