The Brass Frog
A man walks into a curio shop. He's browsing
around when he comes across a brass frog. He asks the shopkeeper, "How
much?" The shopkeeper says, "Twelve dollars for the frog, a thousand for
the story." He thought a moment and said he just wanted the frog, so he
paid the $12 and left with the brass frog.
A block from the store he looked behind him and
noticed there were 10 frogs following him. A little later he looked back
and there were 100 frogs hopping behind him. Still another block later
he looked back and 1,000 frogs were hopping behind him. In a panic the
man ran down the street toward the creek. As he passed the creek he heaved
the brass frog into the creek and all the frogs leaped in after it and
died.
The man hurried back to the store and when the
shopkeeper inquired if he was ready to pay the thousand dollars for the
story, he said, "No, but do you have any brass lawyers?"
