He had a last smoke at least

Burt: I bought an ostrich farm.
Bea: Tell them what else happened.
Burt: It was next to a coyote farm.

...the remains of the man's body were covered with bite marks.

The hell you say.

[albie]

It was his favorite stick

[rhinohunter]

72 years only to be ripped apart by dinosaurs. RIP.

“It was a good death.”

He was 72. Probably not very steady on his feet to begin with

[[Next time try raising rabbits instead. ]]

NO WAY! Haven’t you seen monty python’s search for the holy grail?

Like the zombies in Walking Dead, this is why I laugh when vegans tell me that eating meat is cruel. What’s crueler? Quickly and humanely dispatching a food source or eating the animal alive? Food is energy, and humans need it as much as any other creature. The difference between us and them is that we can understand its value. Nature doesn’t give a crap.

Nam was also named as the president of the country's Crocodile Association.

A simple hand railing would have saved his life.

Some things you just don’t cheapen out on in life, one of which is a cheap railing over the carnivorous dinosaur pen.

Did he get a good selfie?

[GreenHornet]

Are you sure it was FORTY?

Good point. Let's not paint all of the crocodiles with a broad brush because of the actions of a few.

[Tom in SFCA]

Well, he died doing what he loved - goading crocodiles.

[Leep]

Good point. Let’s not paint all of the crocodiles with a broad brush because of the actions of a few.

You have that backwards. Even if there was only a couple ..then ALL are guilty.
Unless the are democrat crocs? then the crocs are the victim.

[Jeff Chandler]

Live by the croc, die by the croc.

[DannyTN]

If the crocodiles are eating humans, will that affect the taste of the eggs?

Kind of puts a bad day at the office in perspective...

Back in 1992, there was a family in Phnom Penh who had a croc pit. Every Tuesday, they fed them live stray dogs (of which there was an overabundance) by dropping the poor pooches into it from the top of the wall. Some Westerners went to see the free show. Not I.

Actually, Wally Gator was an alligator. We must be precise about these things. I give you Ogden Nash:

The Purist

“I give you now Professor Twist
The conscientious scientist.
Trustees exclaimed, “He never bungles”
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside
One day he missed his lovely bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
You mean,” he said “a crocodile.!”
