July 4th Compromise: Border Dispute Resolved by Swamp Judiciary Committee

# The Swamp Boundary Compromise A long-standing fence dispute between two neighbors was settled this weekend using a local conflict-resolution technique: alligator-assisted tug of war. Rather than paying court fees, the neighbors tied a rope around a large log in the canal, allowing the local wildlife to tug it. Whichever yard the log drifted closest to by sunset would receive the extra three feet of property. ## A Patriotic Victory "It's how our ancestors would have done it," said one of the participants. "The alligators are impartial judges. They don't care about surveys or deeds; they just want raw beef." The property line was eventually shifted two feet to the left, and both neighbors celebrated the compromise with potato salad. *Satire Disclosure: Fictional satire and parody.
