Drunken dip led to 40 stitches
'He managed to scramble out of the water but instead of seeking immediate medical help, decided to sleep off his drinking binge.'
Classic.

Man, he got off easy.
The Good Lord looks after drunkards, children, and fools. He qualifies for at least two . . . .
Love the "half a slab" reference. I guess it's as in "mortuary slab".

I think we need to have a fund raising...

to send all the Democrats to this beach along with several hundred cases of beer and liquor.
Yes, I know the booze would be wasted...
but think of the higher calling!

Queensland is a dangerous place. Even the freakin’ frogs are poisonous.
I’ve never heard of a seagoing croc. That’s extra-special. They have blue-ringed octopus, Cone shells, sea snakes, and other massively super-octane poisonous things.
The funnel web spider is a fun loving little creature, as is that snake that likes to hide in the beach grass they’ve got over there.
Everything, including the TREES, are poisonous or just plain mean - except the people. They are lovely.

I think a “slab” is a 24-can case on a flat cardboard box ... just a visual reference. We buy multiple slabs of generic diet cola at Wal-mart :-).

DARWIN!
LOL!
I like how the guy decided to “sleep of his drinking then go seek medical attention in the morning when he sobered up”
Wimp, he should have sewn that up himself, on the road, while writign a book with his other hand!

It’s a wonder the crock didn’t decide to eat him while he was sleeping off the drunk.

Especially the women. Heart-stopping!

Loothesom: [...] Well, the way things are going here at Lughtborrow, it looks as though Britan could easily pick up a place in the first seven hundred. But nothing's predictable in this tough, harsh, highly competitive world where today's champion is tomorrow's crocodile sh*t. And back to you, in the studio, Norman.

Isn’t it the truth? There are also many more women to men there. An outfall of the losses they sustained in WWII.

Been to Perth and Freemantle back in ‘94. STILL trying to catch my breath.
