"What did you do?" asks the bartender.
"I sat down and put my head between my knees to keep from fainting!"

Nobody dared to move, suddenly a man jumped into the water and desperately swam towards the shore while he was chased by all the crocodiles.
With great luck he arrived, taking the admiration of everyone in the place, then the owner announced; "We have a brave winner."
After collecting their reward, the couple returned to the hotel.
Upon arrival, the manager told him that he was very brave to jump, then the man said, "I didn't jump, someone pushed me!"
His wife smiled ...
Moral: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman who pushes him."
