Let me just slam half a zen koan into an aesop's fable and... what. what was the point of this? He's supposed to be a frog but instead he's a monk and he doesn't even achieve enlightenment at the end so why did he do this?

I've always heard it as a monk. He keeps helping the scorpion and keeps getting stung.

But the frog drowns, carrying the scorpion, the frog says "you dumb fucker we're both dead now". It's a pretty famous parable. I've never heard of a monk that helps a scorpion. The monk is always talking to other monks and someone asks a question and at this the monk was ~enlightened~

"A goon asked Joshu, a PYF forums moderator: `Has a comic Funny-nature or not?'
Joshu answered: 'Mu.'"


Mumon's comments: To realize PYF, one has to pass through the barrier of the mods. Enlightenment always comes after the road of thinking is blocked. If you do not pass the barrier of the mods or if your thinking road is not blocked, whatever you think, whatever you do, is like a tangling ghost. You may ask: What is a barrier of a mod? This one word, Mu, is it.

This is the barrier of PYF. If you pass through it you will see Joshu face to face. Then you can work hand in hand with the whole line of mods. Is this not a pleasant thing to do?

If you want to pass this barrier, you must post through every bone in your body, through ever pore in your skin, filled with this question: What is Mu? and carry it day and night. Do not believe it is the common negative symbol meaning nothing. It is not nothingness, the opposite of existence. If you really want to pass this barrier, you should feel like drinking a hot iron ball that you can neither swallor nor spit out.

Then your previous lesser knowledge disappears. As a fruit ripening in season, your subjectivity and objectivity naturally become one. It is like a dumb man who has had a dream. He knows about it but cannot tell it.

When he enters this condition his ego-shell is crushed and he can shake the heaven and move the earth. He is like a great warrior with a sharp sword. If a Lowtax stands in his way, he will cut him down; if a moderator offers him any obstacle, he will kill him; and he will be free in this way of birth and death. He can enter any forum as if it were his own playground. I will tell you how to do this with this koan:

Just concentrate your whole energy into this Mu, and do not allow any discontinuation. When you enter this Mu and there is no discontinuation, your attainment will be as a candle burning and illuminating the whole forums.

Has a comic Funny-nature?
This is the most serious question of all.

Now that you mention it I have heard that one. Three's a really similar one where a scorpion is drowning (maybe a sequel) The monk reaches into the water and saves him, but gets stung. As he reaches in again, another monk says "Why are you doing that? You're just going to get stung again." He says that's it's just the scorpion's nature to sting people, and it's his own nature to try to save things.

That's one dumb-rear end monk. He could just fish it out with a stick or something.

The frog parable makes more sense as a metaphor for the situation they're trying to portray but the monk parable makes more sense as a metaphor for penny arcade being lovely and worthless

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The
frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion
says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion finds himself sinking in the water. He sees
the frog swimming away, and has just enough time to gasp
"Why?" The frog replies: "Get Out."
