But are the frogs OK?

True story taken from Texas Fish and Game July 2002 issue

Two Arkansas men, Thurston Pool and Billy Ray Walis, age 33 and 38 respectively, had a mishap on the way home from a night of frog-giggin. Pool's pickup headlights quit when a fuse blew. They had no replacement, but Walis noticed a .22 rimfire cartridge from his pistol fit perfectly in the fuse holder beside the steering collum. With the lights working, the men resumed the drive home.

Twenty miles farther down State Highway 38, just before the White Water bridge, the electrical current passing through the cartridge created enough heat to ignite the priming mixture. The round went off, stricking Poolin the right testicle and causing him to swerve off the road into a tree. Pool suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but required surgery to repair the other wound. Walis, who sustained a broken collarbone, told reporters: "Thank God we weren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off or we might both be dead."

When police contacted Pools wife about the accident, she asked how many frogs the men had caught and did anyone get them from the truck.
