In this case, the projectile was a live frog.

I don't know that I've ever seen data on the ballistic coefficient of a live frog but it can't be optimal. Now sectional density might be something else.

Obviously, a new organization must be formed to deal with this menace - Potato Control, Inc.

If potatoes are banned, only outlaws will have potatoes.

Something wrong with buying guns?

Merely buying the gun sets in motion an inexorable chain of events, all leading to maimed children. Haven't you heard?

He playfully argues with his parents over whether a favorite shirt features a design of a cartoon bear or lion. He still wakes up each morning and listens to cartoons or "The Jerry Springer Show."

It's all starting to make sense now...

You're right. That guy's a sick (expletive deleted) for doing that to a live frog.

Folks like that often graduate to people when doing to animals just doesn't give that thrill any longer.

I don't know.

It is difficult on the best of dyas to figure what a frog thinks, they being so inscrutable and all. But I can tell you the last thing that went through its mind.

I would like to thank you for giving me the idea for my upcoming doctoral dissertation, which will be titled,

An Analysis of the Ballistic Coefficients and Aerodynamic Characteristics of Live and Deceased Members of the American Toad Species (Bufo Americanus), by Luke Skyfreeper

Not exactly. More than likely the frog's a**hole.

The frog's mind wasn't in one piece long enough for his a**hole to go through it. :o)

Hypervelocity eyeball-piercing "Green Bullet" frog.

"Gimme a match. I think my gas tank is empty."

Reminds me of some joke about a guy checking to see if something was coming by sticking his head where he shouldn't
have. It was. Age 39.

I heard the one about what's red and green and goes a thousand
miles an hour, but I don't think it had a cannon in it...
