Or move to France, to make that easier ;-) ?

I'm wondering where Frogs for Frenchies comes from, is it because one of
their most famous cul-inairités, or because of the aliteration, or because
of the sound of words like Roi (rrrwwwaaaahhh)?

Je ne sais pas

Heiko and Tom are equating frogs and princes. How about
"Al draagt een aap een gouden ring, het is en blijft een lelijk ding"
(whether or not it wears a golden ring, a monkey is an ugly thing) Maybe a
more realistic look at life. No amount of kisses will help that one.
Groetjes, Jacqueline
