This is exactly why it’s important to keep the myth going that the city has alligators in its sewers from people flushing small pet alligators down the toilet when they start becoming a hassle to own.

We have relied on this lie for generations to keep kids out the mother fucking sewers. I don’t care where you live. Tell your kids about NYC’s sewer gators today. Let that shit spread from playground to playground from sea to shining sea once more.

If the fact that it’s an NYC sewer isn’t enough to keep kids out of it, I don’t think gators will either.

House hippos. Then show a video explaining how hippos eat people.

Jheeze those house hippos were such a fkin nuisance growing up. I can’t count how many times I’ve flushed them down the toilet.

Gahhh one of those fat fuckers clogged our toilet and we had and inch of water on the bathroom floor. Well, that's what my kid tells me. I didn't see it, could have been a massive dump and he's blaming the hippo.

Or ya know, teach your kids reality. If fecal matter and a rat filled maze don't keep them out, then they probably wanna pet the alligators anyway, and they belong down there. Or hear me out, we just take the Futurama route, and we keep our mutants down there. Unless they get a day pass because we're not monsters.

How do you know these smarties didn't go in there to find alligators? Best to be upfront and teach them facts than expect them to not go looking for santa when you tell them he lives on the north pole.
