Got this at work today;

Be sure to read all the way to the end.





In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University

On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air. The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.

He got down on one knee and inspected the elephant\'s f oot and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it. As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his hunting knife, after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot. The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments. Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled . Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away. Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son. As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing. The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down. The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.&n bsp;

Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter couldn\'t help wondering if this was the same elephant. Peter 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. The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs and slammed his stupid ass against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn\'t the same elephant.

Well, I thought it was funny; a very good twist on what have otherwise been a tired cliche.

:innocent: It\'s cool Davyboy. In one way the story is kind of horrific but then humans are often horrific in stupid funny ways. Sorry I caught you at a bad time with it. :)

hehe made me think of:

Albert and t\' lion
---------------------

There\'s a famous seaside place called Blackpool,
That\'s noted for fresh-air and fun,
And Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Went there with young Albert, their son.

A grand little lad was their Albert
All dressed in his best; quite a swell
\'E\'d a stick with an \'orse\'s \'ead \'andle
The finest that Woolworth\'s could sell.

They didn\'t think much to the ocean
The waves, they was fiddlin\' and small
There was no wrecks... nobody drownded
\'Fact, nothing to laugh at, at all.

So, seeking for further amusement
They paid and went into the zoo
Where they\'d lions and tigers and cam-els
And old ale and sandwiches too.

There were one great big lion called Wallace
His nose were all covered with scars
He lay in a som-no-lent posture
With the side of his face to the bars.

Now Albert had heard about lions
How they were ferocious and wild
And to see Wallace lying so peaceful
Well... it didn\'t seem right to the child.

So straight \'way the brave little feller
Not showing a morsel of fear
Took \'is stick with the\'orse\'s \'ead \'andle
And pushed it in Wallace\'s ear!

You could see that the lion didn\'t like it
For giving a kind of a roll
He pulled Albert inside the cage with \'im
And swallowed the little lad... whole!

Then Pa, who had seen the occurrence
And didn\'t know what to do next
Said, \"Mother! Yon lions \'et Albert\"
And Mother said \"Eeh, I am vexed!\"

So Mr and Mrs Ramsbottom
Quite rightly, when all\'s said and done
Complained to the Animal Keeper
That the lion had eaten their son.

The keeper was quite nice about it
He said, \"What a nasty mishap
Are you sure that it\'s your lad he\'s eaten?\"
Pa said, \"Am I sure? There\'s his cap!\"

So the manager had to be sent for
He came and he said, \"What\'s to do?\"
Pa said, \"Yon lion\'s \'eaten our Albert
And \'im in his Sunday clothes, too.\"

Then Mother said, \"Right\'s right, young feller
I think it\'s a shame and a sin
For a lion to go and eat Albert
And after we\'ve paid to come in!\"

The manager wanted no trouble
He took out his purse right away
And said, \"How much to settle the matter?\"
And Pa said \"What do you usually pay?\"

But Mother had turned a bit awkward
When she thought where her Albert had gone
She said, \"No! someone\'s got to be summonsed\"
So that were decided upon.

Round they went to the Police Station
In front of a Magistrate chap
They told \'im what happened to Albert
And proved it by showing his cap.

The Magistrate gave his o-pinion
That no-one was really to blame
He said that he hoped the Ramsbottoms
Would have further sons to their name.

At that Mother got proper blazing
\"And thank you, sir, kindly,\" said she
\"What waste all our lives raising children
To feed ruddy lions? Not me!\"

This one\'s slightly blue, but goes along in the style of the first story:


Two men are sitting in a subway car and one of them looks quite obviously distressed. His face is beet red and his expression is plainly horrified.

The other man asks him if everything is okay and he responds with this story:

\'Oh, I\'m so humiliated. I went to purchase my tickets at the counter and the clerk was such a beautiful lady and as much as I tried not to, I couldn\'t help but notice that she had the most incredible....assets. And to make matters worse, they were all out there on display in that tight little sweater she was wearing. Anyway, I meant to say, \'I\'d like two tickets to Pittsburgh, please\', but when I opened my mouth, what came out was, \'I\'d like two pickets to titsburgh, please.\' :redface:

\'I\'m just so embarassed.\'

The second man just listened and when the story was completed he responded with this bit of encouragement:

\'Oh!, is that all?!

Come on now, it happens to the best of us. Sometime the cat just gets your tongue.

Why this very morning I was eating breakfast when my beautiful wife came in wearing a tiny little silk nightie. I was trying to concentrate on breakfast but I was having a really hard time.

I opened my mouth to talk, intending to say, \'honey could you please pass the sugar?\'

Unfortunately, as I started to ask, what actually came out was \'YOU\'RE RUINING MY FREAKIN\' LIFE, HAG!!!\' lol



It\'s really much better told than read, but I just can\'t get enough of that one! lollol
