    Made me (grudgingly) chuckle. Good groaner.

    Before the SPCA or anyone else gets upset, they don't actually throw real toads, but flat brass coins which they call "toads."

    Reality didn't stop you, though, did it?

      As Mark Twain said: "Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." Or pun?

      No such thing as a good pun.

      Nice blast from the past, Gary. I recall those Timex commercials - like the one where the watch trailed in the wake of a water skier.

      Remember the one where the fellow attached it a propeller blade of an outboard engine in a glass tank...and the watch disappeared?
      Gotta love live TV.

      I just remembered his name - John Cameron Swayze. Did I date myself too much?

      Chad's all over Mr. Swayze, who was a Kansas grad, but I'll let that go now. (Also a 6th cousin to Patrick.)

      My reference was also to a fad known as toad licking which started in the 60s of course, became widely popular in the 70s, and has 'evolved' into toad smoking...none of this I ever tried, I was much too straight for any drug or reptile licking recreational activities.

      Here's a brief description of toad licking.

    Thanks Gary. I have never tried toad licking, and I don't feel left out.
