This is unusually annoying

I was actually filling in some of the blanks in my profile and the last item was "tell the story of the bald frog with the wig". Now, it didn't give any length limitations so I wrote a silly story and when I saved my profile, it came back and told me I only had 150 characters. Now, it's unlikely that Proust or Faulkner could have written much of a classic in 150 characters either. So I asked for another question - which was easier to answer in 150 characters. Never one to waste words [heh] I have posted the story here for your edification, and no doubt, finally confusion...

Once upon a time there was a bald frog. He was very conscious of his baldness, so he determined to buy a wig. Now, I don't know about now, but in those days it was exceedingly unusual for a frog to own a wig. He searched high and low to find one. Finally, heartbroken and weary, he returned home empty-handed. Now, pausing at the door of his little house, he looked over his shoulder, and what did he see? Surely that bit of bright red fuzz hanging in yonder juniper would work wonders for a wig! He leapt for the bush, already making plans for the morrow. The parties and state dinners he would go to! All the people he would know, he might become famous! Sadly, as he landed near the tree, a French chef stole out of the shadows and cut off his legs to use for dinner. The moral of the story? Two legs at the waist are far better than a wig in the bush. [you thought this would make sense?]
