[Rhodes22-list] Carls Bahama (mis?) adventure day 4

[BenCittadino]

Hank,

Just remember the Story of the Scorpion and the Frog:

  A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the 
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The 
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion 
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

  The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of 
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp "Why?" 

		Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."

This story has kept me from hanging out with sharks. Don't ever forget 
"their nature". This story has also kept me from hanging out with lawyers.

Best wishes,

BenC
