It seems like a good time to bore you all witha story I heard about the guy
with the safari business in the NT who used to specialise in European
hunters. The story goes how he collected his next 2 guests (a Russian and a
chap from Czechoslovakia) from the airport and took them down to the River
to show them some of the country and before he could stop them they jumped
in for a swim.

Immediately a pair of huge crocodiles launched themselves from the opposite
bank and in double quick time had swallowed his clients. Over the next few
hours the police and the Wildlife Rangers managed to shoot and string-up
the 2 crocodiles while the tour operator spent the whole time moaning about
how bad it was for business and how he hadn't been paid.

Whereupon the policeman slit open the female croc to display the body of
his Russian client and cheerfully announced, "Never mind mate! Obviously
your checque's in the male!" ;-)

PS I hope that doesn't look too French to you Roy, or even double Dutch.
e.g. checque/check/Czech
male/mail ;-) :-)

Reminds me of one day in Wyndham (WA) at a place called Crocodile Point...
it is located near a small creek that used to drain the offal from the
local abattoir...anyway, there's three young Aboriginal children (aged 4-7)

walking ankle deep through the mud and mangroves chasing mudskippers. I
reckon there were thirty slides leading into the water a couple of metres
away...but as we all know, crocodiles don't pose any threat to humans (well

not Germans, anyway) :)>>

I haven't heard of any Crocodiles telling us whether Germans don't taste
too good - perhaps Heiko Bleher and Herman Bauer are right.
