Mowing with a Deadly Weapon

[kybearfuzz]

After work yesterday, I went to the gym and did my 45 minutes on the elliptical trainer. With weak and wobbly legs I drove home, seeing so many of my neighbors out mowing their yards as I cruised through the neighborhood. Thinking it was going to rain today and the yard would become unmanagable if I waited, I decided to mow mine as well.

While mowing the side yard, I looked down at the last second to see a small frog staring up at me, right in front of the mower. Unfortunately, the little guy just sat there and it was too late to stop the momentum of the mower and over him I went. A large "piece" of whatever was left came shooting out the side and I literally cringed. You see, I don't like to kill things, with the exception of some bugs, most rodents, and snakes. A poor little frog, nah, he doesn't show up as evil on my radar.

As I was telling a few chat buddies yesterday, I think the poor little guy was suicidal. He stood right there and let me run him over. No note was found. I am guessing that his wife (or life partner) left him for a horny toad who had a big swingers pad over on the other side of the woods. Sigh.. I'm rationalizing...

Oh well, back to work...

Im guessing suicide was the motive as well. He was probably tired of living up to the hype and standard set forward by the marketing experts behind Kermit for all these years and was disappointed that no pig in high heels would date him. Instead he settled for one of his own and started to raise a family but the pressure of providing food and shelter for all 12,000 tadpoles from his wife's first delivery was too much and he snapped.

It's not easy being green.

There should be a support group for frogs in distress...

... and he was actually a yellowish color... at least pre-lawn mower.
