DON'T EAT THAT WART!
WHEN YOU TOUCH A TOAD YOU GET WARTS, BUT IF YOU TRY TO BITE
IT OFF AND ACCIDENTLY SWALLOW SOME OF IT, YOU WILL
START TO CROAK LIKE A FROG.

Submitter comment: CHRIS TOLD ME THIS ONE DAY WHILE WE WERE SITTING DOWN IN
THE STUDENT UNION. HE SAID THIS IS WHAT HE USED TO TELL
HIS FRIENDS SO THEY WOULD BE AFRAID TO TRY AND GET RID
OF THEIR WARTS, ESPECIALLY BY BITING THEM.
