that’s really cool. Once i unwrapped a roll of toilet paper and a huge wasp came out. he must’ve been caught in the machine during the rolling process and he was so tough he survived. I was, “concerned.”

Years back when I went frog gigging, I told my kids when I got a frog, I’d cut off one leg and the frog would swim in circles till I went gigging the next time....

I once bought a bromeliad in FL and drove it home to NC,
all the while with a little green frog in the plant.
