Hey, we do what we can!

Did you hear about the Polynesian king who was much beloved by his people? Every year, they'd pool together to get him a present for his birthday, and what do you get the king who has everything? So... they'd get him a new throne for his throne room in his grass hut palace every year. And the king, who loved his subjects as much as they loved him, couldn't bear to part with his old thrones, so he'd stow the old throne up in the attic of his grass hut.

Year after year this went on, until finally the floor of the attic of his grass hut could no longer take the strain, and the old thrones came crashing down into the throne room, crushing the poor king sitting on his newest throne.

The moral of the story? ninja People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones!

xd I love it.

Then there was the frog who hopped into his local bank one day, and over to the loan officer's desk.

He looked at the nameplate on the desk, and said very politely, "Ms. Patty Black, I'd like to get a loan, please."

Ms. Black looked at the little frog perched on the corner of the desk and said, "We don't usually give loans to... amphibians. But... it's been a slow week. Do you have any collateral?"

The little frog said, "I sure do! I have this little crystal horse!"

The loan officer looked for a long moment at the little crystal horse on the frog's flipper and said, "I'm gonna have to ask my bank manager about THIS one."

She took the crystal horse and went into the manager's office, and said, "I have this frog out there that wants a loan, and all he has is this little crystal horse! Can you BELIEVE it?"

The bank manager took the crystal horse in his hand and carefully turned it over and about, and said, "It's a knick-knack, Patty Black; give the frog a loan!"

That one reminds me of Benny...

Benny was a toad that wasn't very popular. He'd go to the pond parties and end up sitting in the corner by himself. One day Benny found a fairy trapped in a tangle of weeds and freed her. As reward for rescuing her, she granted him one wish.

Benny thought and thought and decided that he wished, most of all, to grow a beard. The fairy made it so and told him that if he ever shaved, she would have to come back and turn him into a vase. Benny told her that he was fine with that condition and instantly noticed a bit of stubble on his chin.

As time went on word spread about Benny's new beard and every wanted to hang out with him. He was the only toad in the pond with a beard and everyone loved it. But, the beard kept growing and it got dirty easily. Soon was a tangled mess of hair, flies, mud, and whatever else was in the pond...

The smell and appearance of his beard soon drove the other toads away from Benny and he was as alone as before. Finally, sick of it all, he decided to shave his beard off. It was perfectly safe, he thought, after all, there was no way the fairy could know. As soon as he had cut the last hair from his chin, though, the fair showed up and looked him over.

"Benny," she started to say, but ended up sighing instead, as Benny turned into a beautiful, green, ceramic vase.

The moral? A Benny shaved is a Benny urned. wink

@aretoo — I believe the frog's old man was a Rolling Stone....

Anyway guys, I'm gonna try and sleep. Have a good night.
