Good day for odd stories

One hundred gypsies caused a British pub owner to lose his license when they repeatedly invaded his bar on horseback. The gypsies rode their horses into the bar on multiple occasions despite the objections of the owner.

A man in Connecticut fell out of his car onto Interstate 95 and watched his vehicle drive on without him and crash into a pole.

Syracuse Police chased a dump truck that led them across roads, train tracks and suburban yards. The man was accused of stealing from vending machines at a mall. The driver was fatally shot.

A 3-foot alligator was discovered in a corn field near the Michigan/Indiana border. Alligators also have been seen in recent weeks in the Chicago River, a Boston suburb and New York City.

A Pennsylvania woman managed to taser herself in a drunken rage with her brother. Her three sons were in the car, as were several unopened bottles of liquor.

Meanwhile, two young goats in Montana had to be air-lifted off a bridge after two days of standing on a 6-inch ledge 60 feet above the ground. "We thought they were going to panic, but it was just the opposite," a rescuer said.

Aw, it's sad that that alligator only had three feet.

If the alligator had only three appendages, I would have written "a three-footed alligator."

I was just bein' facetious. Didn't mean to sound critical. Do alligators have feet, anyway? I know they have legs, but what are their "paws" called?
