Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 01, 2019

wait, I thought the prince was a Frog.. not a Toad.

I want to know the title on the book…anyone?

…and the divorce lawyers lived happily ever after.

It was a grim situation for the Prince, he had no choice.

And what, pray tell, is wrong with being a toad? Stop your bufonophobia!

Gradually? I got a day!

Every woman needs a toady – one way or another!

It’s a bit like real estate. However, position, position, position becomes perception, perception, perception.

Wooooosh! That will teach you to tell tales of a princess and and a frog….berrrrribit…..

One can grow to love a toad, as well.

Why wasn’t the couple toad it wouldn’t work before they said “I Do”?

But, thankfully, it was the Princess who croaked soon thereafter, leaving Prince Toad free to search for a fresh new Princess with whom to begin the cycle anew!

He was always a toad, but she thought she could change him.

It’d be swell if people didn’t bash each other with gross, over used but false stereotypes that hurt and demean. There’s enough nasty reality these days without trying harder and harder to piss people off with stereotypes.

It is said that on their wedding day, the husband looks at his bride and hopes she will never change. And the wife looks at her groom and hopes that she can change him. It turns out they are both wrong.

But which one will croak first??

It’s the ones who can’t take a joke who turn back into toads.

Lots of comments by toads I see!

Sigh. They could’ve bought a duplex. . .not enough creative thinking here. . .

Funny how marrying a Princess can do that to a guy.

Que Carly Simon’s “That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be.”

And then he croaked. And he was very happy.

Sounds like both my ex husbands….“ribbit”…..

While the handsome prince devolved into the ugly troll that lived under the bridge, the princess became an aged-obsessed spendthrift, undergoing needless plastic surgeries and botox treatments, and endless sessions at beauty spas.

That’s what happens when the kissin’ stops….. :(

" Sisters Grimm"- the non-fiction version. lol

And he was very very horny.

Warts and all.

And YOU are going to have to GET A JOB and work FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.Is bummer, yes? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes!

I had an artist friend who painted my garage door (to my design) with a robed wizard wielding a wand. The inscription read “Parking space protected by wizardry. Your car may be toad.”

The woman who kisses the toad is not a witch in any of the stories I recall.

Grimm Reality Fairy Tales

Mike Heck (on the TV The Middle): Things we did before we got married that we don’t do anymore? You really want to go there?

Remember to set your clocks back on Saturday night for Daylight Savings Time!

The inevitable. Husbands can’t stay buff. Stay single.

And the babies hatched out w/ gills and tails.

Must be Danae when she get older

Yes, the Tales as they were Originally written were much Grittier and true to life.

A Lot of the original characters Died ugly deaths and the “Princesses” never got a chance to say “Hell No!” to the “Prince”.

What did she expect? What goes around …

Aw, Wiley kids. Can’t get too much of ’em.

An old man walking along a road comes across a frog. The frog says, “Excuse me sir, I’m actually a beautiful princess who has been cursed and if you will kiss me and break the curse I will be forever grateful.” The old man replies, “M’Lady, forgive me, but I’m 96 years old. Frankly, I’d rather have a talking frog.”

Yeah, you’ve heard it before, but it’s still funny! :D
