Any word on the singing frog?
What was an Ipad 5 doing there?
An engineer 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 then cried out, “If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I’ll stay with you for one week and do ANYTHING you want.”
Again, the engineer 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 and that I’ll stay with you for one week and do anything you want. Why won’t you kiss me?”
The engineer said, “Look, I’m an engineer. I don’t have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog, now that’s cool.”
I think it’s gonna be opened in Boston next week.I’m scheduled to go to NYC on Tuesday and I can’t cancel.But if it’s any other day I’m gonna try to be there...but it might be VIPs only (knowing this state’s Rat Party).
In the video the curator said they might not open it.
Wouldn’t it be a kick if one of the original Declaration of Independence was in it.
Hmmm...just yesterday I could swear that I heard a local newscast report that it was to be opened at Boston's Museum of Fine Arts next week.Perhaps I didn't hear it correctly or perhaps there's confusion regarding what should be done.
In the video she said there’s some concern because the contents were cleaned with acid in 1855.

Exactly which acid?
She didn’t say.
Upon opening the box, the ghosts of Sam Adams and Paul Revere suddenly appeared.
In unison, they exclaimed “What the HE** have you people done to our Country?” snatched up the contents of the box, then vanished in a cloud of red smoke.
Well I’d love it! lol
Listen, my children, and you shall hear....
Actually Paul pops out on a horse and rides off shouting “The Witch is coming! The Witch is coming”
