» Joy Butler - Feeding frogs

There are a few frogs, well maybe they're really toads, who live on and around my patio. They are so cute! I mean who couldn't love a face like that?! That must have been adorable to see the frog family lined up waiting for their breakfast buffet.

Hi Joy,

It was hysterical. smile They looked like they had just been seated at the restaurant and were just patiently waiting for someone to take their order.
It was priceless.

These guys could be bull frogs, maybe toads? I've got to find a picture!. They're not cute but they are fascinating.

The little albino fella is cute. Makes me think of Spiderman the way he latches onto the side of the door and just hangs there.

Thanks for stopping by.

When my kids were young, they would pretend to be frogs. Their favorite phrase was "ribbit, ribbit, ribbit."

I think it was Lincoln who was asked, "How long should a man's legs be?" Reply: "Long enough to touch the ground."

How long should a story be? Long enough to cover the ground. Your lineup of restaurant-attending frogs was a verbal snapshot that brightened my day. It could be the stuff of cartoons, but you had it in the (frog-)flesh.

Much of my humor has been *noticing* something funny, not making it up. It is not a copyrightable formula, and I'm glad you're doing it. Much good humor is "found" humor; you have to "sense" it then pass it on.

» Paym Bergson - How picture perfect...

I think this was a set up by the cats...to get more food!

What a wonderful picture you painted for me! I laughed so hard, imagining these green guys waiting to be served!!

btw - Toads are usually bigger than frogs - Justin thinks your giants are toads from the descrip I gave him - he also says Toads are easier to train than frogs - another indication of Toads - they have learned to anticipate your arrival.
Thx for a great article!!
