Please excuse me, I know I should have posted this in net.frogs, but
we don't suscribe to it.



Today, when I was driving back from the 
camping trip, I had an interesting
experiance.  Here is is:

I had taken my canoe with me on the trip.
Last night, I had left it upside down near
the lake.  This morning, I packed up the 
car, and tied the canoe onto the top.

Then I started driving.

I drove for a while, and then I noticed
that the canoe was a little loose, so I
stopped and tied it tighter.  I drove on
some more.

Finally, I came to Highway 5.

I was driving down the highway at 100K/H,
looking at all kinds of things as well as
watching the road.

Now, when you're driving a car that has a
canoe tied onto the top of it, you always
see a bit of the canoe when you look out
the front window.

This case was no exception, and along with
all the other things I was looking at, I
was looking at the front of the canoe.

Suddenly, I saw two eyes looking at me from
under a part of the front of the canoe.
Then I noticed that these eyes were 
attached to a small head, and, likewise,
the head was attached to a body.

It was a frog that was in the process of 
waking up.  He seemed to be confused as
to where he was.  He looked like he was
ready to jump.  I said "Don't jump frog!"

Now either he didn't hear me, didn't pay
attention to me, or he was a unilingual
franco-frog. (This was in Quebec)


He jumped.

He then hit my windshield, bounced off
and hit the highway at a high speed.

Jean-Philipe (my son) said "Lets go back and
get him." 


I said "I think he's dead."





What could be the moral of this story?
