down at the sink in the barn where I make our tie dye clothing for shipping nationwide, I have a family of little frogs living among the blenders soaking and what not. the barn water is fed with a hose as there is no direct line to the building—so during the summer the water becomes scalding in the hose. I once made the mistake of turning on the hose without first clearing the little frog family. Two of the buggers got cooked unfortunately. So come warm weather, its always clear out the froggies first....before turning on the water..

(One that’s not mentioned at the link is that the fleur-de-lis supposedly looked something like a frog, to the English...)

Did you notice that they didn’t even sue Woolworth? Apparently Australians aren’t as litigious as we are, which is quite nice for a change.

Australia most likely has the British principle of law that THE LOSER PAYS.

If America had that, we wouldn’t be so litigious either!............
