Guest guest Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Dear Z, Ever hear the story about the fox and the scorpian. The scorpian needs to cross the river and cannot swim. A fox happens by the river bank. Scorpion asks if he can ride on the foxes' nose across the river. The fox says no because the scorpian will surely sting him. The scorpian then sweet talks the fox into carrying him across the river saying that if the scorpian stings the fox then they will both drown. Fox agrees and allows the scorpion to climb onto his nose. He then starts swimming across the river. Midway the scorpian stings him. As they are both about to drown in the water the fox asks why. The scorpion replies he can't help himself to sting is his nature . He's a scorpion. That pretty much sums up negotiations with the nada.
