A Florida officer is going viral for jumping and squealing during their first gator encounter! In Florida, you need to be ready!

Hopefully he got it out of his system and will be good seeing gators moving forward because working in Florida, he's nearly guaranteed to see one again and you can't act like this every time! Granted, I certainly can't blame him. My reaction probably would have been much, much worse! It happened to an officer in Largo, Florida who recently moved from New York. New York is a bit different than Florida, being a concrete jungle. You have to imagine his co-workers are never going to let this one go. Check out a video report from 10 Tampa Bay on YouTube below.

That poor guy. He's never going to live this down. If this happened to one of us on the show, we would certainly never stop hearing about it. Honestly, if I see a bee I act much worse so I can relate with the guy. I'm very scared of bees, if you haven't heard. If I even think I see one I take off running. I can't even eat outside on patios! It's too embarrassing for me and I can't relax and enjoy the meal. Not to mention those around me can't enjoy theirs either because I'm so scared and panicking. It's not good for anyone.

Cort Freeman was born and raised in Metro Detroit. He was named Clarkston High School 2009 Class Clown 13 years after graduating. Totally normal thing to happen. That’s thanks to his time spent as an Intern at Comedy Central and Social Media Correspondent for The Colbert Report. Cort has done comedy across the country, both standing up and sitting down. When he’s not trying to make you laugh on-air and online, he’s probably at home enjoying his favorite shows like Seinfeld, South Park, and The Office. He’s also totally uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person. Cort enjoys writing about comedy, food, sports, and entertainment. So, basically anything and everything.
