A woman whose arm was torn off by a crocodile wasn’t going to let a lost limb get in the way of her wedding -- and she managed to walk down the aisle just days after the gruesome attack.

Zanele Ndlovu, a former national tennis player, got married to Jamie Fox on Sunday at Mater Dei Hospital in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, where she’s recovering from the crocodile attack, The Sun reported.

Reminds me of an old Ogden Nash poem.

I give you now Professor Twist
A conscientious scientist.
Trustees exclaimed “he never bungles”
and sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside
one day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later
been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
You mean he said, a crocodile.

Crocodiles = bad.
Gators = good.

Congrats to the happy couple. May they keep all their remaining limbs.

A few years ago HBO did a series on The Number One Ladies’ Detective Agency. (It only lasted one season). One case was a disappearing husband who turned out to have been eaten by a crocodile. When Precious Ramotswe finds his watch inside the croc, his grieving widow is relieved that at least he wasn’t cheating on her.

Depends on the croc.

Nile crocs are very aggressive.

“I’d give my right arm to marry a sweet man like you, Jamie!!”

You can call Zanele Ndlovu “Lefty” now!
