There’s a Toad in My Oven

Funniest interpretation of my tired mumblings ever:

Me: I’ve stuck a frozen toad in the hole in the oven.
Amelie: You stuck a frozen toad in your oven, just to block a hole?

This post does not in any way condone cruelty to toads. I am wondering how many people will ‘get it’ though..

    huh? I feel not so bright since I didn’t get it. May-be because I’m really sleepy from an early morning. Or may-be being Canadian I don’t get British humor as well as I should.

    I get it, I get it! I remember it from Roald Dahl’s “Danny, the Champion of the World” book.

    It makes perfect sense. I mean, you couldn’t exactly stick your thumb in the hole in the oven, it would get burnt.
