Punctuation is important.

Is it telling the crocodiles not to swim there?
Saying crocodiles don't swim there?
Or warning that there's crocodiles, so don't swim there?

Also, goats.

Regardless of punctuation, you can't fix stupid. I saw another report that said there are properly punctuated warning signs there, hell, they're everywhere in Florida so they had to have seen them, and then there's this guy in the report who told them of the gators. And the idiot boyfriend says, "Never in a million years would we have seen this nightmare come about." There's a curious mix of newcomers here who just don't know any better and long time residents who say they've been swimming in those places forever and never been bothered, then somebody gets attacked. Two gators, both about three meters long have been taken from there now and DNA tests are being done on their carcasses, but I can't hold it against the gators, if she came into my home I'd think about eating that myself in a manner of speaking. I haven't been on that river but it's very typical of most I have canoed and kayaked on here for 40 years, narrow, winding, occasional white sandy beaches, and dark water like tea stained by tannin from the tree leaves so that you don't know what's under there. The gators are intimidated by watercraft that are as large as they are but never, ever would I swim there.
