, his lady love afew short weeks after they made up in Dubai. He will always look like the simp that thought he could save a heaux.

This unfortunate affair has reminded me a story my uncle told me that I want to share with you: the frog and the scorpion.

Once upon a time, a scorpion happened upon a swamp and if you know anything about scorpions other than the fact that they sting, it should be that they can't swim. Looking around for a solution, she saw a frog and she asked him to help her get her across.

The frog, being aware of the scorpion's nature, adamantly refused to. Frustrated, the scorpion asked him why he was being difficult to which he said rather succinctly,

"You will sting me."

In her most honeyed voice, she informed the frog that she wouldnae do so because it would spell doom for the unlikely pair: his from the sting and hers from drowning. Frog eventually acquiesced and wouldn't you know it, while they were in the middle of the swamp, she stung him repeatedly. Knowing his time was up, the frog buoyed perhaps by the venom coursing through his body asked her why she had sealed their fate to which scorpion replied,

"It is in my nature."

So who can Otile blame for the fact that despite his best attempts, he was unable to salvage this relationship? Keep in mind his claims that he helped Vera with money on several occasions including to pay for her salon's rent? Well, only himself.

He was the simp who tried to save a lass everyone and their uncle warned him to keep away from.
