I thought only American families spent an average of $6,000 a year on burdensome regulations, but I guess Australia has come forward spending millions of dollars on a study to determine the dangers of crocodiles. And after millions, here is what they have determined. First, never put your hand in a crocodile's mouth. Second, never ride a crocodile. They can really hurt you. Third, never try to collect crocodile eggs or baby crocs. Mama crocodiles get real mad. And, finally, never ever attempt to capture a crocodile, especially if it is bigger than your boat. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. This is a crock of what? One thing for sure, America is not the only government that wastes money. But evidently the bureaucrat training school for meaningless redtape and regulations in America is now open to all of the government workers of the world, especially Australia. I yield back the balance of all those crocodile tears for those Australian taxpayers.
