Bat Tries To Help Me Get Rid of a Pesky Toad

A bumpy toad jumped on my nose and refused to get off. I tried to gross him out, much phlegm I garnered in a cough. He was determined and held on tightly with his webbed toes. I was irritated because after all, it is my own private nose. Come help me! I yelled to a bat in the belfry below. He came up and bit the toad on his middle little toe. The toad bit him back, actually sliced off his head with his teeth. I was really grossed out when I saw what was underneath.

Eew, I am certain you were. I didn't know that toads could even fit on someone's nose. A fun read.

Hmmm...isn't the belfry the bell tower, the highest point in a church? So, where were you sitting when this critter jumped on your nose? A born high jumper, I'd say. If the belfry is crowned with a cross, you must have been sitting on top of the cross. Oh well...give it up Milt!!!!! It's a marvelous fantasy!

I would tell you but then I would have to kill you Hank. And I like you too much to do that.
