A Lesson For Us All: If A Crocodile Is About To Eat Your Wife, Jump On Its Back
That’s what this guy in Australia did:
The woman, 36, suffered leg and hand injuries in the attack late Wednesday in an Outback creek where the couple were swimming, Northern Territory Police spokesman David Wright said. But the 2.5-meter (8-foot) reptile released the woman and fled when the man jumped on its back. The man was not injured.
Gotta give this guy points for guts. Either that or she still had the car keys in her pocket.
So, remember, guys, if your wife is being dragged away by a prehistoric predator because you were swimming where it normally eats, just jump on its back and it’ll let her go.
Oh, and the same article has this bit about a couple of candidates for the 2008 Darwin Awards:
Last week, police opened fire on a crocodile as it closed in on a drunken 27-year-old man who had accepted a dare to swim out to an offshore crocodile trap, and last month a crocodile nearly snatched a 27-year-old Israeli tourist from his boat on a river.
In January, a man rescued his colleague from a crocodile’s jaws but accidentally shot the unlucky co-worker in the process.
I wonder what the Australian equivalent is for, “Hey, y’all….hold my beer and watch this !!!!!”
