A man in Australia has been described a ‘hero in pants’ by his wife after wrestling a kangaroo that burst through his bedroom window and started jumping on his bed. He is brave of course, but I don’t recall Alan Bates’ bravery being commended when he wrestled naked with Oliver Reed.
The man, Mr Ettlin, has described himself as ‘lucky’. Not really what I would have said. If you look the word ‘lucky’ up in the OED, I doubt you will see a picture of a randy kangaroo stamping on a perplexed Australian excitedly tearing into his pants.
“Did ya ‘ere about the Ettlins? ‘Ad a ‘roo bust through their winda in the middle of the night!”
“Lucky baasted.”
On the other hand, I suppose it beats being crapped on by a seagull. Mr Ettlin went on to say “it really is true, if you find a penny and pick it up…” but he was cut off mid flow by a koala ripping open a condom wrapper and advancing towards him with a Barry White album.
