Ah - so many Frogs - a bit of a shame I'm a vegetarian really!

A modern fairy tale
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 into 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. Then, my sweet, we can marry and setup housekeeping in the 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 garlic sauce, she chuckled and thought to herself:
I don't flipping think so.

Frogs legs are nice - but they are a little fiddly. If you like white meat you'll probably like frogs legs

Nice one Reminds me a little of the advert where the guy eats the crab at the end after its done all the hard work!
Haven't had frogs legs, but I've eaten snails and they don't taste of anything - rather bland really.

Typical woman, blows her one shot at happiness by eating too much garlic.
(OK admittedly the eating with the frog's LEGS might not have helped the frog's opinion of her either

A programmer was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and said, “If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess.”
He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke up again and said, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful princess, I will stay with you for one week.”
The programmer took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to the pocket. The frog then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do ANYTHING you want.”
Again the programmer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Finally, the frog asked, “What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful princess that I'll stay with you for a week and do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?”
The programmer said, “Look I'm a programmer. I don't have time for a girlfriend! But a talking frog, now that's cool.”
