    A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, when two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep it was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead.

    The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump up out of the pit with all of their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop, that they were as good as dead. Finally, one of the frogs took heed to what the other frogs were saying and gave up. She fell down and died.

    The other frog continued to jump as hard as she could. Once again, the crowd of frogs yelled at her to stop the pain and just die. She began jumping even harder and finally made it out. When she got out, the other frogs said, "Did you not hear us?" The frog explained to them that she was deaf -- she thought they were encouraging her to jump out of the hole the entire time.

    I don't like the first frog in the pit.

    Welcome to sciforums, Lykan. Love the Daffy avatar.

    Frogs no less?

    I once knew a Canadian, in the US service and he always refered to his countrymen as frogs. Never knew why.

    It is a reference to French Canadians. The English refer to them as frogs, or more precisely, damn frogs.
