The Frog's..... The Horror..



So, today I want to share a story from my time in Germany.  Those of you that knew me in Germany and/or have been to Germany can hopefully appreciate this.

The Commander and I were just sitting in our apartment in Butzbach, Germany.  We usually went for drives around Germany whenever we were bored, which still to this day is one of the favorite past times in our little family.  This night was much like the rest, we got on the Autobahn, and just started driving, we took the first exit that looked interesting to us.   Sure enough, this was a very interesting road we had chosen to drive on.   The road slowly turned from a four lane road into a two lane road and it started to wind back and forth.  Outside was so dark, all we could see was the headlights shining off of the road, and occasionally we could see the trees off the side of the road from the headlights.  We came to a small city, and slowed down, we could tell that there was a river next to the town and we were amazed at the little town in the dead of night.

As we were leaving the town we saw a sign that looked much like the sign in this picture.  The Commander and I both got a good chuckle out of the sign, making mocking jokes about how we are going to encounter 'Suicidal Frogs' as funny as it was we had no idea how true the statements actually were.  About a mile down the road, it sounded like we went over a rumble strip on the side of the road,  hmmmm not too concerning though.  Then we heard....

Thunk.....  Thunk, thunk.......  Thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk, thunk.   Then we realized that we were committing Vehicular Frogicide.  I could now see on the road in front of us there were hundreds if not thousands of frogs in the road, and I had no chance of missing them.   So I did what I could to try and avoid driving through the large groups.  I looked over at The Commander and noticed that she was turning pail, evidently the idea of running over hundreds of frogs did not sit well with her stomach.  Needless to say, we took a different route home, and we have always thought it was funny that there is a road in Germany where all of those frogs go to commit Frogicide.

Anyway, that is the story.
