Boy, over there in Russia, they need some sort of government regulation to cover this sort of thing.
Otherwise, it's almost inevitable that it will happen again.
Umm.... this report comes to us from tax law professor Paul Caron at Pepperdine University. I'm thinking that the link to U.S. federal tax issues is pretty tenuous.....

A fall upon a crocodile,
I think, could hurt for quite a while.
For, if the faller’s very heavy,
Pain -- upon the croc -- would levy!
If they’re ridin’ on a bus
The accident could cause a fuss.
You’d think there’d be a regulation
To prevent this consternation.

One can only hope that this unfortunate incident does not spawn another endless series of tasteless "Russian circus performing crocodile is crushed on bus by fall of 264-pound woman accountant" jokes on the late night TV shows, of which I know we've all grown so tired over the years.......

The Observer wrote:Did you hear the one about the time a crocodile, a 264-pound Russian accountant and Famspear walked into a bar?
Or the joke about the Catholic crocodile, the Jewish 264-pound Russian accountant, and the Methodist Famspear, all in small row boat in the middle of the Atlantic?
No, I haven't heard either of those jokes.......

That's cruelty and prejudicial to crocodilians that is, and if Famspear bursts out into limerick or rhyme that's even worse cruelty to people's and I'm holding you personally responsible.
The fact that you sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the “Law of Gravity” is unconstitutional and a violation of your sovereign rights, does not absolve you of adherence to it.

Finally, Famspear staggered back into the bar and said "Now, where's that 264-pound Russian woman accountant I'm supposed to wrestle?"
No, I won't explain it. If you don't know the original joke, ask a friend.
AndyK is hereby awarded twenty Quatloos to be paid forthwith by Famspear.
At least I think so.

Time for the Famspear Challenge! It's up to Famspear to complete the last line of this topical limerick:
There was once a poet named Famspear
who, regarding limericks, had no fear.
One day he posted, with a smile,
