smarty_blondy Aug 22, 2005	awsome teaser, but the hint let go a bit to much of the answer. It was a fun and easy one to do, keep up the good work

bradon182001 Aug 29, 2008	Good one for the younger crowd on Braingle. Thanks for posting.
doehead Aug 29, 2008	The STUPID BRAINGLE OF THE YEAR WINNER.
Fasil Aug 29, 2008	When I first read the answer I thought it was funny but stupid, but that's only because I didn't get it at first (too early for me). Good Teaser, keep em coming!
gambiteero Aug 29, 2008	crocodiles dont actually eat humans, just scare humans away from thier territory or young, so i wouldnt mind if a croc attacked me.
phyllisa Aug 29, 2008	Got it, LOL
UptheHill Aug 29, 2008	SWEET!!
auntiesis Aug 29, 2008	My sister & I have enjoyed this type of teaser since childhood. Thanks for the memories.
tator13 Aug 29, 2008	Nice and easy! (as long as you remember your rules about simple grammar...)
kasiecom Aug 29, 2008	In order for your answer to apply there has to be a comma after the word ATTACT.
kasiecom Aug 29, 2008	ATTACK
ANATOLIUS Aug 29, 2008	I was going to say neither, lol.. I wouldnt want to be attcked AT ALL, lol!! Thanks!!
zaya Aug 29, 2008	DUH!
FatHead Aug 29, 2008	I never was able to tell a croc from a gator, but I loved this one!
srpwuzhere Aug 29, 2008	lol i didn't get it a first. i got confused. good teaser. the difference between and alligator and a crocodile is that a crocodile has a longer snout than an alligator. and when it closes its mouth, you can see a crocodile's teeth. you can't on an alligator.
Pop_Qla Aug 29, 2008	Haha good one!!!
4princesses Aug 29, 2008	Now that was funny! Good one!
gottalovetacsc Aug 29, 2008	yeah i got it but it's still kinda funny!
Bastet Aug 30, 2008	Oh, yes, the beauties of the English language and its sentence construction!
al12121995 Aug 31, 2008	haha i get it
avonma Sep 04, 2008	I was mad because I didn't get it at first. But, now I do. Good teaser!
Jayo Mar 18, 2011	loved it!!!! nice one
baliset May 19, 2011	gambiteero-You are wrong. Crocs are like all large predators in their eating habits and humans are fair game.
gaylewolf Aug 29, 2011	It didn't take long - I got it! Made me laugh! Sure it's silly but I love examples of how our English language can fool you! Have a sunshiny day, friends!
doehead Aug 29, 2011	AROB. Maybe the crocodile could eat some of these old wornout repeats. A to my special(and I mean special) friends.
rockstar1009 Aug 29, 2011	I got it on my first read, but I love these types of tricks, and make special caution to avoid these grammar pitfalls in my own writing. The day we learned about misplaced modifiers in school, our teacher had a lot of fun examples similar to this.
here2 Aug 29, 2011	thanks
georget99 Aug 29, 2011	I dug out a third meaning. It's a matter of what word is missing in the original sentence. Meaning 1, original sentence: Would you rather a crocodile attack you or an alligator ATTACK YOU? Meaning 2, answer given: Would you rather a crocodile attack you or ATTACK an alligator? Meaning 3, my answer: Would you rather a crocodile attack you or have an alligator? (as in own an alligator)
gaylewolf Aug 29, 2011	Hi Doehead, I was pretty sure you'd comment "AROB"! But you haven't lost your sense of humor! THAT is what makes YOU special!!
auntiesis Aug 29, 2011	Hi Gayle & Doehead, this teaser is just too funny....still.
LOY-KAY Aug 29, 2011	very good! keep it up
LOY-KAY Aug 29, 2011	very good! keep it up
BookwormAnG Sep 01, 2011	very enjoyable!!
GreenGal17 Jan 26, 2012	Awesome . Whenever I play Would You Rather with my friends, I ALWAYS use this question. I almost got my friend yesterday on this question ;).
