A wealthy billionaire living in Darwin decided to have a party and invite all of his friends, family and neighbours.
He also invited Barry who was the local swimming pool cleaner who had turned up that morning to make sure that the pool was perfect for the event.
The party was held in the back yard of of his mansion. Everyone was having a great time eating, drinking and dancing.
Champagne flowed and the oysters, lobster and prawns were first class.
Then, at the height of the party, the billionaire said, "I have an eighteen metre monster crocodile in my pool and I will give a million dollars to anyone who'll join him."
The words were barely out of his mouth when there was a loud splash.
Everyone turned to the pool and saw Barry fighting madly with the croc. He jabbed its eyes with his thumbs, threw punches, head butted it, tried biting its tail and he flipped through the air like some type of martial arts expert.
There was splashing and water churning everywhere and both Barry and the crocodile were raising hell.
Finally the croc tried to turn over and grab Barry with its huge jaws. Quickly he turned the other way, jumped onto its back and leapt out of the pool.
A weary Barry collapsed by the side of the pool and everybody stared at him in disbelief.
The billionaire said, "Wow, that was fabulous Barry. I owe you a million dollars then."
"No, thanks. I don't want it", said Barry, "I'm happy with my lot in life."
The billionaire said, "Come on I insist that I give you something. How about a new Porsche, a Rolex watch or some shares in my company."
Again, Barry said, "No."
Confused the rich man said, "Well then Barry what do you want?"
Barry replied, "I want the mongrel who pushed me in!"
