The Complete Frog Story

Once upon a time there was frog who was bald. But he was an enchanted frog, he was really a nice guy who had been cursed by an evil ex-girlfriend who had spent all of his money and maxxed out his credit cards. She waited until he had paid them off before she cursed him so that she could run them up again and he would not be able to do anything about it.

The frog was a nice guy and lived in a pond by a university. Everyday he tried to talk to the students to explain his predicament. Sadly they did not listen to the evils of credit card abuse.

One day a beautiful young woman approached him and listened to his story. She asked for the name of lady who had run up his credit card. He gladly gave it and told her how to break the spell. The beautiful young woman just laughed with an evil chortle and said, "Why would I save you? You have no hair, you are bald! That makes you even uglier than a regular frog! I know her and want to get some stuff for myself on your credit card!" She dumped the frog back into the pond and ran away.

The poor frog was so sad and thought no one would ever help him. He made himself a wig from moss and local grasses that he could find around the pond. He wore the wig everyday as he hopped around, trying to get someone to help him. Most days he was laughed at for his strange wig.

Two days after graduation a cute young lady came to the pond. She noticed the frog and picked him up. She was startled when he spoke to her and told her his story. She promply removed his wig and promised to save him.

First she threw away the wig, then kissed the top of his bald head. He became himself again, and hugged her in gratitude.

"Now let me explain how to completely break the spell", the former frog began.

"Hush, my dear, you have no worries, you see I graduated in accounting and received my law degree. I've been hired by the IRS to prosecute those with illegal incomes. "

"You don't mean. . ." He gasped

"Yes" she replied "An audit every year for the rest of their lives"
