Cat Flap Toad

[nightshade]

The Cat (old one-eye) would not go out through his flap this morning, I looked at the flap and there was a huge Toad sat in the aperture, I had to remove it and wipe it clean. I went around the outside to clean the outer
part of the flap and there were another two on the doorstep.

There's got to be a joke in here somewhere.
I'm desperately trying to think of one anyway.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Quote:
Well there is a different version of the story and the man-eating toads. In this version Giraldus Cambrensis tells of a young man called Cecil Longlegs who "during a severe illness, suffered as violent a persecution from toads, as if the reptiles of the whole province had come to him by agreement; and though destroyed by his nurses and friends, they increased again on all sides in infinite numbers; being wearied out, he was drawn up in a kind of bag into a high tree, stripped of its leaves; nor was he there secure from his venomous enemies, for they crept up the tree in great numbers, and consumed him to the very bones"

Henrya you must get out more or go to another shelf in the library
All I could think of was the McCartney bulfrog song

A close friend is living in Zambia and in the last week has had; a toad in the bedroom, mice in the pantry, ants throughout the house, a gecko in the bath and a snake turned up for the picnic in the garden.

I've always remembered that tale of Giraldus' since I first read it. Used to use it in my talks for a bit of light relief.

I know nothing of this McCartney bullfrog song of which you speak

Apparently so! Found it on YouTube. I have heard it before but had no idea it was anything to do with McCartney.
