Maybe Dinner and a Movie Would Have Been a Better Choice

Our bozo for today from the International File in northern Queensland, Australia, really, really wanted to impress a girl he had just met in a bar while drinking with friends. He told her that the crocodiles in the nearby Johnstone River had a particular taste for backpackers and wouldn’t attack locals. And to prove it, he volunteered to jump off a wharf and into the croc infested river. Bad, bad idea. The crocodiles didn’t bother to check his papers and immediately went for him. Somehow our lovestruck romeo was able to fight off the crocs and swim to safety, but not before suffering serious injuries to his right arm. He’s recovering in a local hospital. Authorities are considering pressing charges.
