Best Drunk Tourist Story Ever

October 19, 2007 at 11:49 AM | 0 Comments

A tourist who was 12 beers deep decided it would be a good idea to go for a late night drunken swim. Matt Martin was camping in northeastern Queensland, which everyone knows is the land of saltwater crocs (thanks Steve Irwin!). When he jumped into the river at Cow Bay he landed on a crocodile.

After a tussle with the mini dinosaur that only helps to grow his legend, Matt went back to his campsite to sleep it off. Thing is, mangled bloody croc-eaten faces tend to make passing out in peace a real bitch. Eventually, after seven hours of rest, Matt ended up at the hospital where he received 40 stitches.

Matt admitted his face was "pretty messed up," but being 12 beers deep he just wanted to catch a small nap before dealing with it. C'mon, replace "croc eats half your face off" with "drink and dial" and we've all been there.

Best drunk tourist story ever.
