bex77During the load-in for "The Margaret Ghost" on Saturday, a bunch of folks were sitting around sorting newspapers to decorate the set (she worked in a newspaper office in NY for awhile). They started telling "elephant jokes." I never realized there are "elephant jokes." There's even a Wikipedia entry about them!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_joke
It says they started in the U.S. in 1962. Hunh. It also notes that they often are told in a series. Here's my favorite, with a U.K. spin on it:
Q: How many elephants will fit into a Mini?
A: Four: Two in the front, two in the back.
Q: How many giraffes will fit into a Mini?
A: None. It's full of elephants.
Q: How do you get two whales in a Mini?
A: Along the M4 and across the Severn Bridge.
Q: How do you know there are two elephants in your refrigerator?
A: You can hear giggling when the light goes out.
Q: How do you know there are three elephants in your refrigerator?
A: You can't close the door.
Q: How do you know there are four elephants in your refrigerator?
A: There's an empty Mini parked outside.
I found a bunch this morning online and share them with you to make your Monday a little sillier.
