Blacker than black?

Further to yesterday's blog recounting the woes of "Black Monday", it appears that one Australian man has the answer to the question "How much worse can it get?"

In fact he has two answers!

The man in question was attacked by a crocodile and then shot by a colleague who was trying to save him.

Jason Green was bitten on the arm by a crocodile while he was collecting croc eggs west of Darwin yesterday. In an effort to save him, his colleague Zac Fitzgerald fired a pistol, and one round accidentally hit Mr Green in the elbow.

Mr Green's *estranged wife told reporters that she was surprised that he was even at the zoo as he was under notice of redundancy, and had just returned from the joint funeral off his parents who had been murdered the week before.

Having had his own home repossessed, due to severe financial difficulties caused by his drug addiction, Mr Green had at least hoped to move into his parents' home following their untimely deaths, however sadly it burnt down, after being struck by lightning in a freak storm.

Mr Green, who is known as "Lucky" to his friends remains in a stable condition at Royal Darwin Hospital.

* PLEASE NOTE: - from this point on the events are somewhat (OK totally) fabricated!
