Elephant In The Neighborhood

What I find remarkable about this story, is the difference in the response by the town's people, compared to that of today. No one taking pictures. A newspaper photographer took these shots, but no selfies with the "Elphies"! No police presence, let alone swat teams. No crown control, or animal rights folks with signs.

The children are out front, close up. They know what an elephant is and show no fear...only curiosity. Why, this wouldn't be the case today. Even if it was an episode on "Mayberry", Barney would ruin the essence of innocence.

It seems that common sense was allowed to prevail.

A truck broke down. A truck that happened to be loaded with elephants. It just happened to be near a service station. So it was decided that they would all take a break, while the truck was repaired. Win- Win!

1966....Ah...the good old days!

Just a thought......
Elephants do huge poo's like cannon balls, does someone follow behind with a collection truck? :hatlaugh1:
 
An elephant robbed a grocery store and the police asked a witness, "Would you recognise the robber if you saw him again?"

"No," said the witness, "He had a hood over his head."
 
A squirrel is relaxing in his tree when it suddenly starts to shake violently. He looks outside and sees an elephant climbing the tree.The squirrel says “hey elephant, what are you doing?”
The elephant replies “I’m climbing this tree to eat some pears!”
“You dummy,” sayeth the squirrel, “this is a pine tree… there’s no pears up here.”
The elephant says “I know, I brought my own!”
