or a condition imposed by circumstances.

While attending a "Harmony for Couples" weekend, Dave and his partner, Ann, listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."

He then addressed the men, "Can you name and describe your wife's favourite flower?"

Dave leaned over, touched Ann's arm gently, and whispered, "It's Homepride, isn't it?"

Thus began Dave's life of celibacy.

Celibacy, of the self imposed kind!


A man was crossing a road one day when a frog called out to him and
said, "If you kiss me, I'll turn into a beautiful princess." He bent over, picked up the frog and put it in his pocket.

The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back in to a beautiful princess, I will tell everyone how smart and brave you are
and how you are my hero." The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and returned it to his pocket.


The frog spoke up again and said, "If you kiss me and turn me back into
a beautiful princess, I will be your loving companion for an entire week.
" The man took the frog out of his pocket, smiled at it and
returned it to his pocket.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you for a year and do ANYTHING you want."


Again the man took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.

Finally, the frog asked, "What is the matter? I've told you I'm a
beautiful princess and that I'll stay with you for a year and do
anything you want. Why won't you kiss me?"

The man said, "Look, I'm a computer programmer. I don't have time for a girl friend, but a talking frog is cool!
