It's a frog's life

Last night I got home a bit late, turned on the lights, walked into the kitchen and found this:



Now at first glance you might think it's a cute, harmless, helpless frog like this:










But it wasn't. It was a scaly, shriveled, disgusting frog like this:


So I called every guy I could think of in a ten mile radius to help me get it out of my house. Several of them didn't answer their phones. A few of them responded like this:




But one of them (after laughing a little bit) showed up at my house to rescue me from the clutches of the evil frog, making me think of this:


He then affirmed my decision to call for help by telling me that picking up the frog "was pretty gross" and that I could call him any time I needed help and he would be on the way, which made me feel like this:



And probably made him feel a little like this:

So after the heroic rescue, everyone was happy, except the frog. Who was dead. The end.

Love it.
For awhile, I saw frogs everywhere, and it made me wonder if I was supposed to meet my Prince Charming soon, or if I'd have to kiss a lot of frogs first. So, if you find a dead frog, in your case, I guess that brings a prince to the rescue!
Or a plague...
I'm not so good with symbolism. Let's scratch all of the above and just give a shout out for that dude! Does he get dead roaches, too?
