"No hungry crocodiles . . ."

Can you get one shipped to the lounge? We need a bouncer from time to time, as well as a gimmick. The gimmick being that the unruly, solicitors, and the just plain obnoxious will be required to dance with the crocodile. :)

Hmmm, yeah well maybe, as I am less than eighty miles from Steve Irwin's "Australia Zoo", but today I don't feel like driving anywhere as the mercury's heading above forty (that's 110 or thereabouts for you Americans) and with his wife coming from Oregon and all, I'm not sure I'm up to it even if the heat weren't so fierce.

Don't get me wrong. I loved Oregon, wanted to settle there. But my husband died there, too...

Um, c'n'I have another Scotch and sit by the fire a while to think? (What I'm thinking is, you guys really want a couple of koalas - those things are nowhere near as fluffy as they look, and have sharp claws that'd rip yer face off - do any bouncer proud! Maybe we could even sic' em on some Democrats. I'm thinking John Kerry, meself...)
