that has got a fair amount of coverage here, of course. no one very surprised.

from innisfail so no brains. alcohol. attractive woman. croc infested river. it would have been bigger news if he did not jump in.

but in fairness, if i was to try an list all the stupid things i've done to impress women, this forum is not big enough. sadly, if i was to list all the things that were successful, the back of a matchbox would have space left over.

will never forget how a great mate of mine, now one of australia's most senior businessmen and sports administrators, overheard two guys talking at an office christmas party at seaworld many years ago. he missed the early part of the conversation where they were offering anyone $200 to swim back and forth across the shark pool. so he leapt into the conversation and said he would do it. but insisted they pay him. he wanted $20 (so ridiculous given what he'd be worth now).

so, for $20, in front of 100s of drunk party goers, in he dived. and flapped about. swam across the pool and swam back. he told me that by this stage he was sobering up and realised he better get out. however, security had arrived with a couple of very large guard dogs. they are screaming at him to get out but every time he tries the dogs lunge for the throat. eventually they are pulled off and he is dragged out. talking to officials later, one told me that the sharks are well fed and that the danger was probably not as great as it might have appeared. from the sharks. the tank also housed a giant Qld groper - these grow to about 8 feet and are massive. he told me that they are incredibly curious fish and he was very surprised that it did not come up and grab his leg to take him down and work out what he was.

but he did collect his $20.

"Do you understand that most of the country thinks that youre one of the stupidest people around?"

Much Aussie gold in this clip. 

Anyone know if there is a redneck Olympics anywhere? Yanks vs Aussies would be a truly mighty battle. The Canucks are nipping at the heels.

the reporter asked - how much had you had to drink? about 10 cups of Goon was his reply! god this makes us look ridiculous when he said he was trying to show tourists that crocs don't attack locals as often as back packers, things you do to impress a girl hey, on a good note - it did work for him, he got a date with her out of it.
