Super User .ghoti. Posted April 30, 2009 Super User Posted April 30, 2009 This is an Incredible story! 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, inspected the elephants foot, 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 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 teen-aged 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. Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not 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 him against the railing, killing him instantly. Probably wasn't the same freaking elephant. This is for everyone who sends me those heart-warming BS stories. Quote

Fisher of Men Posted April 30, 2009 Posted April 30, 2009 Why should I expect anything less from the man who posted the "lung transplant" joke? : You're bad, man! ;D And don't forget, the zoo will face a lawsuit because the man climbed over three fences and a mote before being killed. : Quote

Super User Long Mike Posted May 1, 2009 Super User Posted May 1, 2009 Ghoti, things must be a little slow for you right now. You are going WAY back into your joke archive. As I said on another thread, the jokes are so old, they are new. ;D Quote
