Thoughts?

Man, all these drowning analogies remind me of my relationship with my uBPDw.  You can read all about it below:



The Scorpion and the Frog

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog nervously asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?"
The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die, too."

The frog is satisfied with that answer, and so they set out, but
in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the
onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp, "Why did you sting me?"
 
The scorpion replies, "Because, silly, I'm a scorpion. It's my nature."



That's all I've got tonight.  I've been the frog several times myself... .
