Hopefully Kermit will forgive me
Wednesday night, on the way back from Hillsdale, it was raining really hard. It had been raining all evening, along with some nasty storms.
I saw something bouncing across the road and realized at the last moment that it was a frog (or a toad). I didn't want to swerve on wet pavement, so I kept going straight, and....
**thunk**
I hit him.
I killed a poor defenseless frog (or toad).
As I kept going, I noticed that there were a lot more frogs (or toads) trying to cross the road. I counted at least seven. Plus there were little blobs in the road, as if several others had already gotten hit by previous vehicles.
How odd.
I've never seen that many amphibians crossing the road at once.
Kinda like a real-life version of "Frogger".
(Or Toader.)

I wouldn't worry over much about Kermit.. Miss Piggy on the other hand...
Watch your back!
You liked it. Admit it.
Bluepaintred: I forgot all about Miss Piggy. She probably already has me marked for death. Luckily, I really like bacon.
SoapyNethers: Hey, I know you! Welcome back. :)
Well, maybe you're helping to select for frogs that know how to look both ways.
Marilyn: Thank you! Now I feel environmentally useful.
Poor Kermit...there he was chasing after miss piggy for a little afternoon delight, when...BLAM!
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA...did I mention I am kinda weird and twisted? Can ya tell? :)
Ah, but Little Tree, you must understand The Way.
By running over this slow and oblivious Kermit, you prevent him from breeding and making additional slow (or potentially slower) Kermits.
You help reduce the number of oblivious frogs (or toads) in the frog/toad population, thereby making the frog/toad species stronger as a whole.
If you didn't casually run over the Frog/Toad, he would multiply and suffocate the roads with his offspring who would also be slow and oblivious.
You do Frog/Toad a favor.
(Yes, I am a Republican)
Keyguy (Fred): If you find me dead with blonde hairs and snout prints at the crime scene, you'll know she got her revenge.
Whall: Now I feel dirty.
Now you'll have to write your city council and county commissioner about putting up the frog crossing signs.
Travis: Especially since the frogs already know where to cross; we won't even have to teach them to obey the signs!
