A frog is sitting alone on the Jordan River's banks... A Frog is sitting alone on the Jordan River's banks, when a long comes a Scorpion.   The Scorpion says ""Frog, I wish to cross this river, would you please carry me across on your back?""   The Frog responds, ""We are natural enemies, why should I do that? You will just kill me when I let you on my back""   The Scorpion interjects, ""Well if I do that, I will drown in the River"" After some thought, the Frog says ""Okay, fine! I will help you across the river"".   So the two make their way across the River, but half way through, the Scorpion stings the Frog.   ""Why?!? Now we are both doomed!"""" Shouted the Frog with his dying breath. The Scorpion turns and says ""What did you expect, this is the Middle East!""
