This is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God. I've seen a lot of weird stuff over the years. But a frog in a sumo suit attacking someone? Even my dreams, as strange as they can be, didn't prepare me to see this...and firsthand. Yes, I was a witness to the attack. Well...maybe it wasn't a real attack with guns and knives and flamethrowers...maybe it just jumped towards the guy. But hey...when a frog in a sumo suit jumps at you, it sure feels like an attack. And every word you have read so far is true. The frog was indeed in a sumo wrestling suit. You see...these suits I work with shipping and all...they are a heavy material, and air doesn't flow through them...the material doesn't 'breathe'. So occasionally I get one back, and it will smell a bit funky...so I set it outside to air out overnight. And I brought it back in this morning, and saw an armpit was ripped, so I needed to repair it. And I turn the suits inside out to sew the seam on the inside so it doesn't show. Evidently, a tree frog climbed inside of it last night, and as I was turning the suit inside out, he suddenly hopped out towards me. It felt like an attack. So everything I have said is the truth...I was indeed attacked by a frog in a sumo costume today.

When I started reading the article I was wondering where in the world the frog found a sumo suit that fit. The visual I had was so funny I laughed until I couldn't breath.

@JolietJake ... Bro...you are extraordinarily intelligent and witty. Perhaps your teacher suffered with inferiority complex being unable to answer your questions or teach you at your level, and did not want other kids to look down upon him/her when you asked questions that he/she could not answer.

Is that why they wanted to put me with the other 'special' kids in school?

Only you JJ, only you, would be attacked by a frog in a sumo wrestling suit. He obviously thought you were a fly.

And then the next morning, a frog attacked me as I opened the shower curtain...I think Scar hired a troop of small green assassins

"It's GREEN!" an exact quote from a kid who was working on my shed when a lizard jumped out at him.

You must have jumped out of your skin when it hopped out towards you.The fog never thought that it was turned out of its new home so soon.

You probably scared him/her as much as he/she scared you. Well, maybe not. I love those little green tree frogs with the orange feet, but on the OUTSIDE of the window. And certainly not inside my clothes.
