A friend of mine sent me this, and I found it frightfully applicable
to the recent gender threads...
> A man 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 spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back
> into a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you
> are and how you are my hero." The man took the frog out of his pocket,
> smiled at it, and returned it to his pocket.
>
> The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into
> a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire
> week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it, and
> returned it to his pocket.
>
> The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a
> princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want."
> Again the man 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, that I'll stay with you for a year and do anything
> you want. Why won't you kiss me?"
>
> The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a
> girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool."
