Affair with the Rockstar
“So there was this frog, see, on the riverbank. And he’s just about to swim across the river when this scorpion comes along and says, ‘Hey, mate, can you ferry me across the river on your back?’
“And the frog says, ‘But you’re a scorpion.’
“And the scorpion says, ‘So?’
“And the frog says, ‘You’ll get me halfway out there and sting me, you right bastard.’
“And the scorpion says, ‘No I won’t – if I sting you, you’ll die out there, and I’ll drown along with you. I’m not gonna sting you ‘cause it’ll be the end of me, too.’
“The frog thinks about that for a moment and finally says, ‘Alright, then, I guess I’ll take you across.’
