..... WERE always referred to as FROGS....
..........................................because they JUMPED from "PAD" to "PAD".......

.. ....but now we are NOW called FROGS ..as FULL-TIMERS...
.................................of course houses are no longer called "PADS"

..the "CAT" who changed it does not remember MAYNARD G.KREBS..
..or.. Dobie Gillis......(BOB DENVER and Dwayne Hickman).
