    Man saved from croc shot in error
    By Phil Mercer
    BBC News, Sydney The crocodile seized the man's arm and shook him
    A man has been accidentally shot by a rescuer who was trying to free him from the jaws of a crocodile in northern Australia.

    The victim, in his late 20s, was attacked by the reptile near a popular tourist spot on the Mary River south-east of Darwin.

    He was flown to hospital by helicopter for emergency surgery for bite and bullet wounds.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,821 ✭✭✭18AD


    Or, you know. The guy is standing there with a gun, thinking "I've never shot someone before...hmm...and that guy looks pretty f*cked already" "This is for that time we went paintballing..."

    [Cartman's house. A television is heard. The screen shows an Australian crocodile hunter narrating his adventures as a woman pilots his boat down a river.]
    Aussie: As we steer our boat down [the boys are on the sofa looking at TV], looking for these dangerous predators… Boy, there's a king croc right here. [it slips into the water] He must be four meters; 12, 13 feet long at least. [it looks up at him] This croc has enough power in its jaws to rip my head right off.
    Kenny: (Oh, no!) [tightens his hood up]
    Aussie: I've got to be careful. So, what I'm gonna do is sneak up on it and jam my thumb in its butthole.
    Stan: Holy crap. dude!
    Aussie: If I get bit out here, I'm 200 kilometers from the nearest hospital: I'd better be real careful jamming my thumb in its butthole. [jumps in and grabs the crocodiile] Oh, boy, it's pissed off now.
    Kyle: Go, dude, go! [excited, the boys jump on the sofa]
    Aussie: I'm gonna jam my thumb it its butthole now! This should really piss it off! [reaches down with his left thumb to do it. The croc jumps up in pain and drops] Oh, yeah, that piossed it off, all right! [the boys cheer] I've gotta be careful!
    Stan: This guy rules!
    Kenny: (He actually killed it!)
    Cartman: I told you guys.
    Aussie: [with left arm now bandaged and in a sling] Well! That was quite an angry croc! But I managed to escape with only a few bruises and a shattered left testicle. Next week we'll look for more of these beautiful creatures, so we can learn more about them by pissing them off immensely. Thanks for watching.
    Kyle: [to Stan] Dude! Let's go look for crocodiles!
    Stan: Yeah! [the four of them hop to the floor and walk out the front door.]

    Was the croc ok? It didnt say it in the article


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 86,729 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    This brings up sad memories of Steve Irwin. That was truly a sad day. A ****ing stingray of all things! Im sure Steve would have loved to go like that ^

    the only thing that would have made that more funny, was if the bullet had killed him. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,260 ✭✭✭jdivision


    Maybe he knew that if he shot the guy the croc would eat him and not come after the shooter

    Poor guy... ouch..just ouch!!

    It reminds me of that simpsons episode where a King Kong Homer was eating Lenny and Carl shoots Lenny in the arm.
    "Ow, nice shot Carl"
