AUSTRALIAN MAN ESCAPES FROM CROCODILE USING POCKET KNIFE

A 60-year-old Australian man escaped from the jaws of a large crocodile by stabbing it repeatedly in the head with his pocket knife as it dragged him into a river. It happened near Hope Vale, in Australia’s far-northern Cape York Peninsula. The man had gone fishing on his property last week. There was a cow where he wanted to fish, so he shooed away the cow, and then, just as he was about to cast, the crocodile struck, knocking him over. He grabbed onto the branch of a mangrove tree in a desperate attempt to stay out of the river as the crocodile’s jaws wrapped around his boots. But he quickly lost the tug-of-war and was pulled in. As he entered the water, he managed to retrieve his knife from his belt and stabbed the crocodile in its head until it let him go. He scrambled up the bank and was driven to a hospital for treatment. He’s still recovering a week later.
* Not even so much as a thank you note from the cow.
* The only thing he caught was the attention of the crocodile.
* Crocodiles hate being stabbed in the head ’cause they can’t raise their arms up there to put on a Band-Aid.
* A pocket knife? Does the Swiss Army knife even have a Crocodile Stabber blade?
* If I was fishing in Australia, I wouldn’t bring along a pocket knife. I’d bring a chainsaw.
