And His Manner Is Very Snappy
Fancy a night in jail, next to a crocodile? Police in Australia kept a saltwater crocodile in a cell overnight after it threatened local fishermen. Officers in Nhulunbuy, in the Northern Territory, say they had "no other option" after capturing the crocodile late in the evening. Senior Constable Wade Marshall said the croc - almost eight feet long - was put in an unused cell in the town's police station. In the morning, the male crocodile was taken to a nearby crocodile farm. Officers said, "We looked after it. It was kept on a wet blanket and hosed regularly with water."

Oh my goodness, your Coppers sure do have a lot to deal with, don't they?
I guess being sent to the farm has a whole different meaning when it comes to crocs.
It would be a rude awakening to find that looking at you through the bars in the morning!

Hi Carol,
A few minutes ago, I was chuckling at how the UK police arrested a group of naked ramblers!

Hi Hammer,
I wish I'd thought of that line! You are so accurate with that one ...

Hi TM,
It would be a very sobering experience, I think. It'd be like coming face-to-face with King George, er, King Jaws!

just realized you read both first chapters of my manuscripts. i reaaaly appreciate your time and effort.. and yes, i have thought of and written two books while in grad school 7 years ago. my education curriculum was boring so i did what i've always wanted: write what i know. i've been sitting on these two "powerful" manuscripts for years now. i can no longer sit, mr. mcmahon. if you think my words can stand up to some publisher in the real world of marketing and selling ideas --cause it ain't just about good writing-- point me in the right direction. i have little connections in that world. i need a voice who can champion my own. if not you, you must know someone. get me a phone call, an email, get me to the door and i can take care of the rest. i can't be stopped. i wont be stopped. my voice and the message is too important... i've even begun putting images to the words and songs to the emotions so folks can grasp what i need them to. go to youtube.com, type "bygincpresents", look at any of the 4 videos to note what i'm talking about.
thank you again

My word, you kept me riveted until the last sentence.
Have you ever thought about writing a book? With these experiences and your powerfully compelling writing, you would have no difficulty finding a publisher.
And thank God for the McEvoys. We all need people like that in our lives.
No one can hope to have a smooth life with joy and pleasure and acceptance and respect and honour forming a mountainous graph every day of our existence - but you document so brilliantly the tumble-dryer of emotions.
You have The Power ....

Tee hee hee. I wonder if they read the croc his "rights" before sticking him behind bars? Too funny. Great post David.
I wonder what type of handcuffs, or, uh, maybe leg irons, they put on the crock to transport him.
What a wonderful story that is. Here they'd have to keep an oppossum in the cell - maybe a black bear.

Croc in jail entitled to one phone call...he promptly croc-o-dialed his lawyer.

Darn, I told them I'd go quietly..
Imagine waking up in the slanmmer after a drunken binge to find that friggin' thing in the sell next to you. Wouldn't take much to bring about a full bowel evacuation. Nice.
