CROCODILE PROVERB

"YOU DON'T MESS WITH THE CROCODILE WHILE YOU'RE STILL IN HIS STREAM.

Submitter comment: THIS IS A BLACK OR AFRO-AMERICAN PROVERB. IT IS INTERESTING TO
SEE HOW THE PRACTICAL AND OBVIOUS THREAT OF A REAL CROCODILE
PARALLELS PRESENT DAY SOCIETAL RAPPORT. AN EXAMPLE OF THIS
CAN BE FOUND IN HOW A PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYEE HANDLES HIMSELF WHEN
DEALING WITH AN UNRULY EMPLOYER.
