Talking Frog

A man was crossing the street when a frog spoke to him from the side of the road, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful Princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket. The frog spoke again, saying, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful Princess, I will stay with you for one week." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to his pocket. The frog cried out a third time, saying, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a beautiful Princess, I will stay with you for a week and do ANYTHING you want!" Again, the man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to his pocket. Finally, the frog asked the man, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a beautiful Princess, that I'll stay with you for a week and that I'll do anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?" The man removed the frog from his pocket, and said, "Look, I'm a software engineer. I don't have time for a girlfriend, but a talking frog is cool!"
