A Retired Officer and the Chatty Frog


“A 70 years old retired Military officer had one hobby – he loved to fish.

He was sitting in his boat and fishing when he heard a voice say, ‘Pick me up’ .

He looked around and couldn’t see anyone.

He thought he was dreaming when he heard the same voice say again, ‘Pick me up.’

He looked in the water and saw a frog floating on the water surface.

The retd officer asked the frog: ‘Are you talking to me?’

The frog said,

‘Yes, I’m talking to you. Pick me up & kiss me; and I’ll turn into the most beautiful girl you have ever seen. I’ll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous, because I will be your bride!’

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

The frog said, ‘What, are you nuts? 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. I would like to have a talking frog rather than a nagging wife..

With age – wisdom comes!
