Well played, sir!

If the crocodile actually swallowed that shoe it would probably die from internal obstruction. Of course, if the shoe is the only thing remaining from some unfortunate tourist, then the tourist gets the last laugh!
If that were to happen it would be: “Contemporary croc crunches croc, chokes, croaks.”
Apologies to Dr Seuss.
ROFL!
One could say the croc’s plumbing would get “clogged”.
heh… heh… heh…
You’d be surprised at what can pass through a reptile’s gut without causing an intestinal blockage. Plus alligator (it’s an alligator with the shoe in its mouth) stomach juice is very strongly acidic; don’t know how a croc (the shoe, that is) would hold up against it.

According to the news item this pic comes from, “… it was forced to admit defeat after 30 minutes of chewing on the rubber shoe — and spat it out.”

I get where the guy’s coming from. I hate those shoes too. Not only do they look completely ridiculous but they offer no support whatsoever.
If you’re ever in Stockholm, try a pair from Knulp. My feet like ’em, anyway.
Cheers for the tip! I took a very enjoyable trip to Sweden last year, including some time spent in Stockholm. But I’m afraid I have no immediate plans to return so I think I’ll have to pass.
But there’s some good news… Boulder Police just arrested the stupid prick for being a stupid prick (and DUI).

Dunno why they’re called Crocs. I call them Hannibal Lector shoes.
Nothing’s better than a modern reenactment of the Battle of Ramree Island.
Good solution for a really bad fashion idea!
I keep waiting for Greg to come back with “that is a lot of croc”.
Too bad it’s not an alligator shoe.
Or an occasional python boot…
That looks like an alligator to me. Does “croc” refer to crocodile or crocodilian?
If I may speak for Matthew, “croc”, in this case, is for “crocodilian”.

“croc” refers to the shoe. Or “clog”, according to some people.
The thing eating the croc is clearly a Tiktok-o-dial, whose fossil ancestor Tiktalik was recently discovered in the Canadian Arctic.
OK, I’ll just go and see what delights the galley have for have lunch instead. I may envy the croc.
