JOKE OF THE MONTH
A man and women walking along a boardwalk by the seashore, were taken back by a tiny voice saying "Please pick me up & kiss me" Looking down they spied a frog, who then said, "please kiss me and the curse will be lifted and I'll become a beautiful women". The guy picked up the frog & put it in his pocket. His wife asked "Aren't you going to kiss her?" Hell no, he replied, I'd rather have a talking frog!!
