| Hold my beer while I ride this crocodile |
| 2010-07-13 |
| A DRUNK man climbed into a crocodile enclosure at a wildlife park after being kicked out of his local pub and is lucky to be alive to tell the tale. The ABC reports Broome Police Sergeant Roger Haynes as saying the 36-year-old was bitten on the leg before escaping. "For some reason he's made a decision to climb the fence into the crocodile park, where an almost five-metre male crocodile was living," he told the ABC. He appears to have wanted to touch that crocodile and sit on its back, and the crocodile has taken offence to that and bitten him on the right leg. He's absolutely lucky to be alive, this is a large male saltwater crocodile, who aren't renowned for letting people escape once they've got hold of them," Sergeant Haynes said. The man underwent surgery for severe lacerations to his leg at the Broome Regional Hospital. No charges were laid, the ABC said. |

| #3 Reminds me of one of my favorite redneck jokes, which is really a two-stager: What's the last thing a redneck says before he dies? "Hold my beer and watch this." What's the last thing a redneck hears before he dies? "Yer doin' it! Yer doin' it!" |
