Once upon a time, 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 in to the princess's 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 house in yon castle where you can prepare my meals, clean my clothes, bear my children and forever feel grateful and happy doing so."

That night , over a meal of lightly sauteed frogs legs seasoned in a white wine and onion cream sauce, she chuckled to herself and said: "I don't @%#! think so!"

All kidding aside, isn't this guy attractive? There are quite a few of these golden-eyed beauties living in the eaves of my house and under the air conditioner. They are fairly large - about 5-6 inches long - and only come out in the cool of night to eat, mate, and lay eggs in my pond. I'm sure I've met this guy in a bar somewhere.
