I forget who it was that mentioned that they have roadsigns warning of frogs crossing the road.

I noticed we have one also

Here's one from Bath,  England ;)
An appropriate town for amphibians, perhaps.

Toad in a bath - a five toe-d toad is better than a three toe-d sloth I guess, especially in your bath

I drive past it regularly, but have nebver seen a single frog - um nor a double one for that matter

Yeah, we have these too in NL

That's why I prefer a shower - but never whilst it's raining

What's wrong with having a shower while it is raining?

There was one place (a guest house) that I stayed where the shower was outside, had no roof, and I would enjoy having the shower (there were walls around for privacy), anyway, one time it was raining and I stood there in the rain (saving water you know) having a wash.
Also often at the beach there is a shower to rinse off the sand. I often would swim while it was raining and take a shower after to remove the sand from certain places...

No I aint Ginger, Roger nor Fred I stare.

I bet they dont have them in France where they eat the legs - can't imagin a legless frog

It tastes like chicken (a bit)

Relieved to hear it

Hmmm, everything seems to taste like chicken, except chicken of course.
At one time not too long ago our chicken tasted like fish - mainly because they fed fish meal to the chickens.

Oh my what lunacy.

Yeah, indeed.

Bright moon still shining
gotta keep the lunas off the grass....

Nice find Droffarc.  

There is a frog farm in the next town over from me.  He raises them for restaurants and also for fish bait.  When you get to his property you see several frog signs.

Love the parking sign!
So people are eating  da froggies? Surely only descendants of the Acadians?

When I did my diving course, the word "frogman" was still in use and in fact in my part 11 (cd11) course we used (as part of the course) the old O2 rebreather setup. The much-hated dry suit with the O2 cylinder and soda lime cannister as used by people like Hans Hass.
The soda lime, if you managed ti get a bit of water in, produced what was termed a cocktail. So you would, before entering the water switch from "outside" air to the rebreather a number of times before entering the water.
I did my course in mid-winter. We were required, in the beginning, just to sit still under the water (hiding) - termed an endurance dive, for a verrrrrrry loooooooong time. The dry suit would pinch your body as you went down - you vented by sticking your finger in at the neck, and boredom would set in. I was fortunate in that there was a tiny octopus where I sat and was able to play with it.
Frogman indeed.

It's no good flogging a dead flog, or I am phip Ian

Oh dear,  I just googled flog.     A slang term that dates to the 1940's.    You got me.

Interesting experience for sure.  

Can't remember seeing those in Finland. I have seen one though that had pictures of two children and a cat (though I somehow suspect that wasn't an officially sanctioned traffic sign )

I once saw a sign that read

parking for ten
ants only

Ran out of space for tenants to park.

Hehe, must have been a tight space

I had a similar meaning-changing occasion once in a hospital I was recovering in. At the time, there were so many patients that even the patient's and visitor's day room space had to be used as a patient bedroom. As I walked around the section, I saw a nurse writing a note on the door. She had misspelled it in a comical way: It was meant to say " Potilas-käytössä" (On two rows, that's why there is a hyphen as it's usually written together, meaning "In use for patients"), but she wrote " Potilas käytössä" (" Patient is being used"). I asked her, which of the patients they are using and how. She didn't seem pleased about my question, and later on I noticed a hyphen had appeared after the first word
