i used to have a metal sided above ground pool, i also had a window mounted air conditioner. a couple of frogs lived under my air conditioner and sometimes i would take them out and put them in the pool to swim with me. when they were under water i could see slime coming off them and i thought it was sperm. i was terrified i'd have frog babies all summer.
