Sorry Kermit

I was driving home from the grocery store last night along Swamp Pike. Such a lovely name for a road. As Swamp Pike enters Boyertown, the name changes to Philadelphia Avenue as if that would beautify the city. So as I'm driving home, I have the windows down as it was a nice cool night. My car comes around a curve in the road and what should my headlights illuminate sitting in the middle of the road but a large frog. A quick calculation of my trajectory and I could tell that unless I or it moved, it would shortly be tread jelly.

My options:
1. Swerve right into a ditch
2. Swerve left into oncoming traffic
3. Tread Jelly

I won't say which option I chose but I have learned that if you apply pressure to a frog in mid-croak (pun intended), it sounds like a balloon popping.
