... Lee De Paauw was mauled by a crocodile after leaping into a river at Innisfail on a so-called “dare” and was witnessed “screaming and splashing the second he hit the water”....

Whitsunday MP Jason Costigan said most locals would know not to jump into the Johnstone River.

“Most people have got common sense ... we can’t legislate to protect dickheads, but we need to be protecting the community, public safety and our tourism reputation are priority,” he said.

I am sorry but we have to give Jason a Trump award for telling it like it is.

"A Department of Environment and Heritage Protection spokesman confirmed the crocodile was being targeted for capture and removal."

This isn't the fault of the crocodile. It was just in the right place at the right time when dinner arrived.

Guy wants to impress a girl. He jumps in the water. Crocodile is VERY impressed. Girl - not so much.

ROFL! Yep, pretty funny.

Agree with you about Jason telling it like it is. I can mentally see Trump doing the same.

Mr De Paauw said he had consumed “about ten cups of goon” before jumping in the river but denied he was “one of the stupidest people around” simply replying “haters gonna hate”.

Not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Still, I can see why he would want to impress the young lady.

I’ve heard of extreme Australian bait fishing, but this is a bit much.
Points for style though.

I did things slightly less stupid for hot girls in my teens and early 20s :)

I bet more than a few of us have.

And we think we can’t die at that age.

We realize later on we well could have!

“There was blood everywhere and he just wouldn’t stop screaming,’’ she said...

The hot babe said that. I would probably be screaming too but the macho act failed on all fronts.

Smart punching the croc in the eye though

She did say she felt bad or him and sympathy nookie as as good as any :)

There but for the Grace of God, and the fact that Midwest lacks crocodiles.

Was he screaming as much as a liberal on election night?

Funny. I thought the bit about chewing one’s arm off waits til next morning.

(In my younger days I wouldn’t know. But these days I wouldn’t want to test it!)

"we can’t legislate to protect dickheads"

A suggestion for an Amendment To The Constitution comes to mind.

I don’t know what “goon”is, but I want some.

Maybe only 5 cups though.
