If she was a frog, she should have croaked, right?

No wonder this woman was once told that she's cute like a frog. LOL

Frogs spawn; they do not “mate”.

Of course, the female can indeed get picky about what male she shares her eggs with.

Or chatting on their phone, reading a book, or playing video games.

You mean to tell me that my ex wife is a frog?

Should'a tried the old gambit...

"Hi honey, here's two aspirin."
"But I don't have a headache."
"Good. Let's get busy."

I post threads on what I see as serious subjects, and feel lucky to get 35 responses.

A thread on the sexual activity of frogs gets 35 responses in a half hour!

Oh well.

Back to the frogs!

I guess ugly, amorous, frisky female frogs fantasize about luring successful business type male frogs into changing rooms in upscale department stores...
