With Age Comes Wisdom

A man is 75 years old and loves to fish.
He was sitting in his boat the other day, when he heard a voice say,
"Pick me up."

He looked around and couldn't see anyone.
So, he thought he was imagining things,
when again when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up."

He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.

The man said, "Did you just talk to me ?"

The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up, then kiss me,
and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman, whom you have ever seen.
I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous,
because I will be your bride !"

The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over,
picked it up carefully and placed it in his shirt pocket.

The frog said, "Didn't you hear what I said ?
I said, 'Kiss me, and I will be your beautiful bride'."

He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,
"Nah, at my age, I'd much rather have a talking frog."

With age comes wisdom.

Nonsense IM. With a talking frog he would become
rich & famous. cool
And with money and fame comes boatloads of beautiful women. grin
laugh

OR... the most beautiful girl just divorces him
and takes 1/2 of everything including his boat. blues

I do think he chose the route of more wisdom. head banger
LOL..Who said she will divorce him? He is her hero! laugh In this unrealistic senario we cannot make up unrealistic additions to win the argument Jim..lol

Beautiful women can be easily found...
but, a talking frog !?!?! laugh

"Unrealistic" ????

Are you trying to say this story is not 100% true ? laugh
HAHA.. I guess a talking frog would be more valuable to you. No matter how many beautiful women there are, I still would go for the woman. What would I do with a frog? Beyond having a great conversation and a wonderful swimming partner, not much..rolling on the floor laughing
Yes Jim, I am saying that this story could not happen..rolling on the floor laughing
rolling on the floor laughing @ IM Then dont kiss the frogrolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
LOl..Stony, I meant just as a frog..rolling on the floor laughing
Well, later guys. have a good day.cheers
HA! In my haste to go cut the grass, I forgot to mention my other argument. What if your refusal to kiss the frog and attempt to use her for money is so upsetting, she refuses to speak and you not only fail to earn a profit, but the minute you kiss her, she leaves due to your lack of concern for her. LMAO If you had kissed her in the first place, she might be so happy that you "saved her" that she would remain loyal forever. laugh There is a saying, " A bird in the hand is better than two in the bush." I'll check back later to look to see if you responded..rolling on the floor laughing
@ IM

What if you kissed her and liked it so much that now you are a frog man for life?doh rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing
Jim!

Good joke! I'll bet the real reason the frog was so anxious to get out of the lake was because some big bass was looking for him!!! laugh
rolling on the floor laughing roll eyes Then I guess I would be a frog! grin
Oh, sorry.. misunderstood..I would be a very sick man then..lolrolling on the floor laughing
I agreehandshake
I bet getting the frying pan out along with
a French cook book
might induce her to talk. laugh
Or may be that was a trap by the frog, on THE KISS miserable might happen to the old man, he did the right thing by holding on what was there!...applause
That's a VERY good point.
Indeed, there are many species of poisonous frogs. help
One kiss could have resulted in
some wild hallucinogenic trip crazy
warts uh oh
or even death ! sigh

You're right ! His actions were warranted. professor
grin
What if ...he kiss frog...frog turns into a lady ,but she stills hops ,and still behaves like a frog in human skin !
Just imagining it ...Yikes banana tongue
But, you would never have to worry
about flies in the house.
She'd probably have nice legs and
if you gave her a job to do,
she might hop right on it. laugh
laugh rolling on the floor laughing smart old man,,,,nice blog jim,,,ty for the gringrin thumbs up
This writing makes me remember of one quote that might inspiring you and people here. Sent by one of my online friends to me yesterday.


"The tragedy of old age is not that one is old, but that one is young.
- Oscar Wilde


I'm still thinking about the quote.
