An elephant never forgets... (joke)
A man was on holiday in Kenya. While he was
walking through the bush, he came across an
elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed so the man
approached it very carefully. He got down on one
knee and inspected the elephant's foot.
There was a large thorn deeply embedded in the
bottom of the foot.
As carefully and as gently as he could he removed
the thorn and the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man and with a rather
stern look on its face, stared at him. For a good ten
minutes the man stood frozen -- thinking of nothing
else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned and
walked away.
For years after, the man remembered the elephant
and the events of that day.
One day the man was walking through the zoo
with his son. As they approached the elephant
enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked
over to where they are standing at the rail. It stared
at him and the man couldn't help wondering if this
was the same elephant.
After a while it trumpeted loudly; then it continued
to stare at him.
The man summoned up his courage, climbed over
the railing and made his way into the enclosure. He
walked right up to the elephant and stared back in
wonder. Suddenly the elephant trumpeted again,
wrapped its trunk around one of the man's legs and
swung him wildly back and forth along the railing,
killing him.
Probably wasn't the same elephant.
