> It seems like a good time to bore you all witha story I heard about the
guy
> with the safari business in the NT who used to specialise in European
> hunters. The story goes how he collected his next 2 guests (a Russian and
a
> chap from Czechoslovakia) from the airport and took them down to the
River
> to show them some of the country and before he could stop them they
jumped
> in for a swim.
>
> Immediately a pair of huge crocodiles launched themselves from the
opposite
> bank and in double quick time had swallowed his clients. Over the next
few
> hours the police and the Wildlife Rangers managed to shoot and string-up
> the 2 crocodiles while the tour operator spent the whole time moaning
about
> how bad it was for business and how he hadn't been paid.
>
> Whereupon the policeman slit open the female croc to display the body of
> his Russian client and cheerfully announced, "Never mind mate! Obviously
> your checque's in the male!" ;-)
>
> PS I hope that doesn't look too French to you Roy, or even double Dutch.
> e.g. checque/check/Czech
> male/mail ;-) :-)

Point...

4-7)

> I haven't heard of any Crocodiles telling us whether Germans don't taste
