Mr. Frog planned to marry his sweetheart and take her around the world on their honeymoon. Except he was penniless.
Mr. Frog proceeded to the bank to arrange a loan. He was directed to the loan officer, Mr. Paddiwack.
Mr. Paddiwack inquired about how the loan would be secured. Mr. Frog showed Mr. Paddiwack his fine collection of river tumbled stones that he spent years acquiring.
Mr. Paddiwack was shocked! Declaring the collection mere trinkets. Back and forth they argued, until the bank president heard the raised voices and entered the office. He firmly requested an explanation from Mr. Paddiwack

Or, as one of my old Navy chiefs used to say, "You're just going along, everything's fine, and then suddenly, the sh*t gets real."
(Actually, I guess he was in his late 30s. Well, I was 20-something at the time, he SEEMED much older...)
