The Scorpion And The Frog

Scorpion needs to cross the river but he can only get across on the back of Frog.
“I’m not sure“, says Frog, “How do I know you won’t sting me?”
“Why would I do that, I’ll drown if I sting you”, replied Scorpion.
Off they went, piggyback-style across the river and as the little Frog predicted Scorpion stung him.
“WTF did you do that for, now we’re both going to die!” wailed Frog.
“Shit” replied Scorpion, as they started to sink “I guess I just can’t help myself, it’s in my nature”.
