Freak accident

Larry and I were "working together" (it's really blaming each other and sniping while trying to accomplish something at the same time) on installing Brady's new fish tank filter. The problem was that the filter tube (that hangs in the back of the tank and does the sucking) was too long for the tank. So Larry pulled the whole thing out so that he could cut down a piece and the motor that propels the sucking action fell out of the tube and into the tank. Big deal, right?

The propeller fell into one of Brady's "rocks" that the fish like to hide in. And the frogs like to hide in there too.

The propeller impaled one of the frogs, killing him instantly. I picked it up, and there was a frog stuck to it. Of all the places for that frog to be.

And then I had to get him off the motor to finish the installation.

Reminds me of a joke:

What's red & green and goes 60mph?

A frog in a blender.
