QLD Loose Unit Blames Ill-Advised Croc Selfie On Her Mate Victoria Bitter

We’ve all done some silly things because of beer. Maybe you allowed yourself to be caught on camera pretending to play ‘Drops Of Jupiter‘ on a clothes horse; maybe you returned home from the club with someone else’s shoe and the black ball from a billiard table. Maybe you fell asleep in a cab and farted yourself awake. It’s alright – beer makes us all act like prize pillocks sometimes. 
So spare a thought for our friends in the far north of Australia‘s greatest state (Queensland), who have to contend not only with the high levels of pillockery borne of a mighty need to drink a lot of beers, but the fact that they must do it in the midst of sizeable natural hazards.
Like, oh, crocodiles.
Innisfail resident Shae Pasetti was on the front lines of beer-vs-nature this week, when she went for an ANZAC Day jaunt with a few friends and ended up posing for pics with a freshwater croc. 
When politely questioned as to whether she’d taken leave of her senses, Pasetti responded:

Some members of the community are a bit miffed about the potential impact on local croc populations should Pasetti have been bitten – many in the top end are calling for croc culls after the death of a fisherman and the mauling of an idiot Innisfail teenager earlier this year. 
But those people have clearly never seen a freshwater crocodile, who unlike their salty cousins, are gentle and puppyish! The Labradors of the water, we call them.*

So what are the takeaways from this particular booze-fuelled adventure? Was Pasetti in any danger? A bit, probably. Did she come to any harm? Absolutely not. Are we going to take every opportunity to say “the VBs dared me to do it“? 
Yes. Yes we are.
