Quotes about toads (14 Quotes)


    It might be noted here that Freudian analysts of fairy tales have suggested that kissing toads and frogs is symbolized fellatio.

Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.
