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...

ah... I guess that would explain the personals ad I saw this morning...

Missing: My husband, J. Phineas Frogg. Left last afternoon for a quick drink at the local watering hole and I haven't seen him since. His thousands of little tadpoles and I miss him, please bring him home safely.

Yikes!.. I mean.. what are you talking about? I know nothing about a frog....

yes, due to the trauma of the experience I'm sure you have blocked out the whole incident and only remember bits and pieces about the frog.
