A story with a moral for all those complaining about being ripped off.
 

This does not apply to those who get into financial difficultly and can't pay their bills. It applies to those whose nature it is to skip paying.

A frog was sitting by the river one day when a scorpion came up alongside him and asked the frog if he would carry him across on his back to the other side. The frog replied no because he was scared the scorpion would sting him and kill him. But the scorpion promised he would never do such a thing to the frog if he carried him across. They would be friends.

So the frog agreed and started to carry the scorpion across the river.

Half way across the frog felt the scorpion sting him and screamed out "WHY DID YOU STING ME? NOW WE WILL BOTH DIE!!" To which the scorpion replied "I'm a scorpion, I can't help it, it's in my nature."

Think about it.

let me guess you are the scorpion and this is some kind of an apology?

mmmkay...

Mine is shorter and easier to understand.

Think a bit harder. And go find someone I stung.

I'm a scorpio does this count?

Very fucking good story Paul...

:1orglaugh

Do you have a sting in your tail?

a good story paul

i've heard that story my whole life - it's a good one and true for most people - though circumstances can change a person's basic nature positively or negatively.

old and gr8 story..

Yes it's old and but with some of the things happening now it's worth telling again.

old story, but i never really liked it . why did the scorpion not just sting him before they even left the river, then he wouldnt die.

The moral of the story is supposed to be that you shouldnt trust a scorpion ( something dangerous ) just because he pretends to be nice, but then it ends with the scorpion dying, in real life the scorpion floats on your dead corpse until he finds another victim., :winkwink:

heres a good one

a turkey and a cow were sitting in a farmers field one day when the turkey said to the cow

" i wish i could climb to the top of that tree "

the cow said " you could but you need extra nutrients, if you eat my crap you would be strong enough "

so the turkey eats some of the cows poo and climbs to the second branch of the tree, the next day he eats more and makes it to the third branch and so on until he finally reaches the top of the tree. At this point the farmer see's the turkey on the top of the tree and shoots him.

Moral of the story, you can get to the top on bullshit , but you can't stay there for long"

To which I would reply, "Welcome to today." :1orglaugh
