a talking frog is cool.
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 an engineer. I don't have time for a
girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool.

Where Is God？上帝去哪了
A couple had two little boys ages 8 and 10,?who were excessively mischievous. They were always getting into trouble and their parents knew that?if any mischief occurred in their town,?their sons were probably involved.
They boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The clergyman agreed but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent her 8-year-old first in the morning, with the older boy to see the clergyman in the afternoon.
The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice,?sat the younger boy down and asked him sternly?〃Where is God？〃.
They boy's mouth dropped open,?but he made no response sitting there with his mouth hanging open,?wide-eyed. So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone 〃Where is God？〃 Again the boy made no attempt to answer. So the clergyman raised his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed? 〃WHERE IS GOD?？〃
The boy screamed and bolted from the room,?ran directly home and dove into his closet,?slamming the door behind him. When his older brother found him in the closet he asked〃What happened？〃
The younger brother gasping for breath replied? 〃We are in BIG trouble this time dude. God is missing - and they think WE did it?〃
