I know. You almost want to say, "What part of wild animal did you not understand?" More like: "What part of 'that is a fearsome man eating and anything else eating crocodile and you don't go near it, no less seek its stupid blessing', do you not understand?!?" What a horrific death. Lord have mercy!

The only "blessing" I can think of that has any particular connection with the crocodile is a nice set of luggage - but I think it has become illegal to use the crocodile skin for the making of leather.

Or a pair of shoes, for that matter - I don't care for alligator shoes (and have never worn them), but we live in pluralistic societies. Come to think of it, I've also seen alligator wallets.

Fr. Serge,
I would not mind a wallet, could you ship me one with some bills attached?
Terry Large denomination bills, of course.

Very gladly - provided, of course, that you will pay the bills!

I take it for granted that this "news" story is someone's idea of a joke, on the presumption that no adult would voluntarily dive into a body of water to have any sort of "meaningful dialogue" with a crocodile. I can't accept your premise, Father. Hawkins' Second Law is that, "There is no lower limit to human intelligence." It came from my experiences as an attorney. In fact, it's so comprehensive, that I've forgotten the First Law, which I belive was subsumed by the second. hawk

Must . . . resist . . . (failed to resist) The blond tourist in Florida? She asked where the alligators were, as she just *needed* a pair of alligator shoes. As word spread, search parties set out for her. They saw her at the edge of a swamp, reaching in--but they were too far away. She reached down, grabbed the tail, and whipped it out of the water--and then threw it over her shoulder in disgust. They noted that it landed in a *pile* of moaning alligators, and got close just in time to hear her grumble, "They can't allbe barefoot!"  hawk, ducking the wallet & bill jokes

Dear Dochawk - I like it! But then, I've always had a deplorable sense of humor!
Never smile at a crocodile!

I, too, like Fr.Serge, have a a deplorable sense of humor.
It probably comes from my being part Irish (Papist). The idea
of a heathen being gobbled up by a crococile whom he had
come to worship is to me utterly hilarious. He got exactly
and precisely what he paid for.

Edmac This seems very mean-spirited and completely lacking in Christian charity. Perhaps this thread has outlasted its usefulness and should be closed. Ryan
