Looks like it works :evil:

"SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian grandmother who saved a friend from the jaws of a crocodile by jumping on the giant reptile's back has been awarded Australia's highest civilian bravery award.

Alicia Sorohan was awarded the Star of Courage after risking her life to save a friend who was dragged from his tent by the crocodile during a camping trip in the remote far north of tropical Queensland state in October 2004.

Then 60, Sorohan jumped on the 4.2 m (14 feet) crocodile's back as it dragged him from a tent while the man's horrified wife tried to both pull him free and protect their baby.

The crocodile then turned on Sorohan and almost tore off her arm before her son shot and killed it."

Imagine her and the lady who wrestled the polar bear coming for coffee :)

Funnily enough, the old lady doesn't get what the fuss is about :)
The gun thing was lucky though, I agree.
This is also a pretty old news report.
so, what's the best round for crocodiles?:neener:
