Two Crocodiles having a chat. . . . .

[Phil Perry]

Two Crocodiles were sitting at the side of the River Molonglo. The smaller one turned to the bigger one and said, 'I can't understand how you can be so much bigger than me. We're the same age, we were the same size as kids - I just don't get it.'

 

'Well,' said the big Croc, 'what have you been eating?'

 

'Politicians, same as you,' replied the small Croc.

 

'Hmm. Well, where do you catch them?'

 

'On the other side of the river near the Parliament car park in Canberra.

 

'Same here. Hmm.....How do you catch them?' asked the big Croc.

 

'Well, I crawl up under one of their big Lexus, BMW or Mercedes cars and wait for one to unlock the car door. Then I jump out, grab them by the leg, shake the $hit out of them and eat 'em!'

 

'Ah!' says the big Crocodile, 'I think I see your problem. You're not

 

getting any real nourishment. See, by the time you finish shaking the $hit out of a Politician, there's nothing much left but an a$$hole with a briefcase.
