IT'S SUNDAY

and thinking about mustering up the enrgy to spend 1 hour and 42 minutes in sunday morning worship. Especially when the freshly washed sheet on the bed are calling for my return. Raised a good ole southern baptist boy and got a giggle out of this google. (Movie is divided into 4 acts by custom church signs ~ i.e. ACT IV "a new hope" or is that one already taken? )

Several Months ago I heard an interesting twist to this story via a friend, the second ending was so much more appealing as it implied more personal responsibility for our choices as opposed to culture of victimization and attiributing causality to external factors this story is often used to foreward.

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 (LIBERAL): "I can't help it, it's just my nature" -
Replies the scorpion (CONSERVATIVE)" " You knew what I was when you picked me up"
