And in the "too stupid for words" department...

We have Adrian Apgar.

Adrian is a Darwin candidate in training. A year ago, an alligator bit off his arm as he waded naked in a lake, high on crack cocaine. So what do they find the other night? Apgar, again naked, this time in a creek with a 12-foot gator bearing down on him

Deputies were on routine patrol Thursday night when they saw Apgar's pick-up. They ran the tag, and figured out it was the gator guy—again.

When investigators found him, they couldn't believe what they saw—he was in the water, and a gator was about 50 feet away.

"They called for him. He would lower his voice, 'ssshhhhh, tell 'em to be quiet.' He was talking to the alligators. He told them, 'turn out the lights, there is a 30 footer out there,'" Judd said.

And the deputies went in and got him, literally pulling him away from the jaws of death once again.

The sheriff says his deputies have put their lives on the line for him twice now and he Apgar may not be so lucky the next time..

"If he gets in trouble again, we have to consider our safety next time, instead of his," Judd said.

Meaning the next time, deputies might not be so quick to jump in with both feet.
