Mystery #161 – Licking frogs to get high

Joey Presents: Great Mysteries of the Universe Mystery #161 – Licking frogs to get high Or, for that matter, any of the crazy things people do to catch a buzz. I mean, if you think about it: sticking drugs up your nose, eating random things in nature, smelling everything from markers to whipped cream… It just makes me wonder who must've DONE it all, who went out there to discover all the vices our addicted friends have to choose from? I think about it and in my mind see Indiana Jones-esque figures. The first brazenly straps a pith helmet over his dreadlocks while another fastens his machete over his tie-dyed peace sign shirt. They slip on their hemp sandals, shoulder their rifles, put some Marley on the iPod, and trek into the jungle in search of new and exciting narcotics. Yeah, that must've been it...   "Well look, Winston, it appears to be some sort of toad!" "Well by golly, Charles, let's lick it and see if we can get high!" "Jolly good idea, Winston, Jolly good idea…"   Still, though, I can't help but wonder if the world isn't complicated enough as it is. Do we really NEED more drugs? Already those "narcotic surveys" we do in English are long enough, and they're only getting longer. I personally just don't understand why we couldn't stick with the traditional method of wasting our lives in a dazed stupor: alcoholism!
