This just in from a friend. It isn't exactly great stuff, but good
enough to pass along...

A 90's Cautionary Tale
In a land far away, a beautiful, independent, self-assured princess
happened upon a frog as she sat contemplating ecological issues on the
shores of an unpolluted pond in a verdant meadow near her castle.
The frog hopped onto the Princess' lap and said, "Elegant lady, I was
once
a handsome Prince until an evil witch cast a spell upon me. One kiss
from
you, however, and I will turn back into the dapper, young Prince that I
am.
And then, my sweet, we can marry and set up housekeeping in yon castle
with
my mother where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my
children, and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."
That night, as the Princess dined sumptuously on a repast of lightly
sautéed frog legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she
chuckled to herself and thought, "I don't fucking think so."
