Australia - The Northern Territory Government has announced its insurance company will give Barack Obama a policy that would cover the US president in the event of a crocodile attack. Mr Henderson says the policy from the Territory Insurance Office (TIO) will pay the president's family $50,000 if he gets attacked by a crocodile. "The president will have total insurance against crocodile attack whilst he's here in the Northern Territory," he said. "And if he gets too close to the cliff's edge there overlooking the harbour, he will have insurance in the event of any crocodile attack." "For Michelle and the kids they can be comforted if a terrible event did occur then $50,000 would be payed out by TIO to help support them," he said. "But I can guarantee Michelle and kids that we will look after the president, and unless he chooses to get into the Cage of Death in Mitchell Street with the crocodiles and there's a total failure there, I can guarantee he'll be pretty safe," he said.
I've almost pissed myself 3 times reading this, its hilarious...I absolutely love Australians and their 1st cousins the Kiwi's.
Like if it was from anywhere else but down under I'd assume this was a hoax, like a funny joke, "Ha, look at us, we're giving the POTUS a $50k gator attack policy," but I 100% know that they're being sincere here, which makes all the more funny.
The press release reads almost exactly like an episode of Flight of the Concords would, I feel like Murray is probably (yes I know they were from New Zealand, come on, its all the same) leading the President on this tour.
