>>On the other hand, have you seen any elephants lately?
"I have a memory like an elephant. I remember every elephant I’ve ever met." - Herb Caen
Alternatively, I know a shaggy dog story about a porcupine that features an elephant. Want to hear it?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
