OT: bravery in the face of certain death

RRP

 Absolutely amazing and deeply moving story of a 38 year old woman armed only with a tiny .22 calibre pistol which is like a mosquito bite to a big croc. Here's the story of self-control and marksmanship by this brave, cool-headed woman against a fierce predator in her own words: 

 "While walking along the edge of a lake  near my house in the Zuccoli Village Estate near Darwin discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 3.5 metre crocodile which suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its large jaws wide open.  She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive.  If I had not had my little Ruger .22 calibre pistol with me, I wouldn't be here today!" said Beverly. 

“Just one shot to my estranged husband's kneecap was all it took. The croc got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible - and his life insurance was also a big bonus!.”

My wife refused to allow me to name any of our children “Croco”.

Reminds me of the old adage about walking in the woods with a group of friends when there are bears around.  Don’t worry about being able to outrun the bear, you won’t be able to do that.  You just need to make sure you can outrun the slowest member of the group!

I think someone has stolen Ron"s account.  These jokes are hilarious, but he is usually such a serious fella.  He is probably yelling at the computer as we read these threads and calling @The_Buffalo to fix his account.

Years ago there was a back door to all accounts. Ron's was mostly used, not good to do that to him again 😁

Not quite sure what you are implying there, buddy…but trust me, my “back door” is only used for pooting!
