    He-he, it partially right for USA, depends on the issue. For example, if it is about salary cut off, there will be riot, but if it is about life on a Mars .. You may not hear a toad here, just because noise of chatting people will suppress croaking.

    Is that strip related to Your last presentation? I mean, did You meet passive auditorium?

    Eva san, You should avoid any physical contact with toads, because they are #1 reason for warts, especially on a head. Never put toad on a head, never kiss it, even if it is a prince.

      I used to teach in Singapore so my students are quiet most of the time when I do presentations. But they fly around the studios during life drawing...

      Haha... I would kiss it if it is a handsome prince XDDD

    Funny fact is that when that things happens we say that you can har crickets instead of toads.

      Yes many readers from US pointed that out on my FB page too :P
      I personally think of frogs and toads because when I was young, I had to go to school early (6+am). I could hear loud croaking along a dark pathway after the bus stop...

      Moreover, the toad expression is more funny heheh

It sounded unusual so I googled and found the recipe. Amazingly, many people swear that it works wonder to cure their coughs and sore throats, so I decided to try out of desperation because I had already been coughing for four days and four nights. Preparation: Put a can of coke (around 350ml) and sliced ginger into a pot and bring to boil, simmer for 10 mins. You can either add lemon when it was simmering or squeezed lemon juice after you pour into your mug. *I couldn't get old ginger from my Japanese supermarket so I used young ginger that was not so spicy. Verdict: I couldn't believe it, but it tasted rather good! Even my friend who disliked ginger said this remedy taste...
