Quite Possibly My Worst Nightmare
Did you hear about this? Seems a man settling back for a quiet afternoon in his tiki bar (that’s a whole ‘nother story, I guess. Us Midwestern folks can’t really identify…) when he opened his can of Diet Pepsi, took a big gulp and began to gag. His wife came over, and to make a long story short, found a blob in his pop can that was tested and discovered to be a gutted frog or toad. For more of the gory details, click the link above, and you can find out how (and this is a direct quote from the frog-drinker’s wife), “what started out as a normal afternoon in our tiki bar has blown up into this crazy thing.”
I titled this post appropriately because while I love all animals, I’m scared of frogs and toads. It’s a weird thing and I won’t go into it (more scared of the “ugly” harmless ones than the pretty poisonous ones, go figure), but the only thing I can think of worse than finding a gutted amphibian in my pop is to find a live one or even a dead one that still resembles its living form. That being said, in all seriousness, my true greatest fear is something bad happening to my family, but I thought this made for interesting reading anyway. I smell a lawsuit.
